alright, i've now had the mixer for a few weeks and here's my review so far:
sound quality is very good! i also like the assignable channels, although i only have turntables atm, hehe
the faders are very sensitive at top, i'm not used to the faders actually changing in volume. (my old stanton mixer had no change from 3 to 10, i'm used to slamming that bad boy and using the gains!)
trims don't kill the sound all the way, so you have to use the faders in conjuction, or just alone. i'm finding it tricky getting fading right, but then again, i need to get used to it.
the effects-filter and flanger seem pretty nice, but you don't hear it unless the effects volume is up past the middle. not so bad. only thing is, the effects on/off button (the round blue thing) is tricky to time right. so i find it much nicer and easier just to turn the effects vol. knob to min when i want to get rid of the effect that is on.
xfader-i dunno, don't use it. wish i had a lock feature though.
ease of use-pretty easy. looks complicated b/c of all the knobs, but it's really not!
having mids and kills are very nice!
one nice feature: you can kill the hi, lows, or mids. BUT you can lower them even further if you turn the knob for it down while the kill is on! 
i haven't gotten any feedback, only got humming when my ground wire was ground to the wrong channel, and i have no distortion.
the surround sound feature: well you can certainly hear a difference, it seems as if the highs get higher, or something, but i can't tell, i only use a stereo to monitor. (although it rocks!)
all in all, i'm very very happy with this mixer. sure the djm600 is better. but you know what, it's not so much better that it's worth about $1000 extra dollars to get. $200 for this mixer is insane!
