I couldn't help myself but to respond something here. Most big clubs use Rane mixers such as Mp44z, 2016 rotary with matching processor, or MP 22z. Rane came out with a reaaly great 10" mixer the Empath:
AND
Allen and Heath make really good mixers but Rane has a better sound clearity, and THEY ARE NOT JUST FOR CLUB USING, I tried XONE 62 in my bedroom set up where I have a really good sound set up(2 Crown Amps, for monitors and Cerwin Vegas 12" Floor speakers) and it worked great, but I went with Tascam X-9, 'cause of all the extra features you get with it on top of just frequency and eq filters. But A&H do make what I think is the best mixer in the world and yes it is a rotary. Most Pro DJs do prefer using rotary mixers 'cause they are a lot more smoother and more accurate as far as levels go.
A&H XONE V6
only problem with this mixer is that is costs USD $$$4800.00
DJM600 was great at one time, about 5-6 years ago, but it's way passed its prime and it is time Pioneer came out with an UPDATED model, still wanna buy DJM600, well how about I save you USD $800.00-900.00 with this one:
My buddy bought DJM600 3 months ago,two months later he tried A&H Xone 62 at my house and started to dislike his DJM600, now that I own Tascam X-9, he REALLY WISHES HE HADN'T BOUGHT PIONEER DJM600.
There are plenty of other much better mixers than DJM600, Rane Empath, Xone62, Tascam X-9, Rane 22z, shit even Numark is coming out with brand new mixer that is better than DJM 600
Don't forget Numark Mixers are being made with Alesis power. This one above is the PPD9000 will be priced somewhere around USD $1050.00-$1250.00.
I suggest you go to a DJ Equipment store and play with Empath and Xone 62 to see which one feels more comfortable to YOU, and then make your decision.

I own a Rane 2016 and I love it.
If you are starting out the Rane is more difficult to learn on because it forces you to use proper technique. Since you can only monitor a single channel at a time you must beat match against an external monitor. When I started to DJ I had a DJM-300 and absolutely no guidance. I would beat match with the cue channel and master channel playing over each other in my phones. While this was easier it left me in my own world and disconnected me the crowd. Not a good thing.
Once I bought a Rane I was forced to learn proper technique. Now I just wish I would have been forced to do it right the first time.
So that said -- you really can’t go wrong with the 2016. It sounds great, is very flexible, expandable and reliable, and it is a desirable mixer so you can always dump it on eBay and recoup 70%-80% of your costs.
Hope this helps...
Keith
