I bought my initial set up on ebay - it was a numark starter kit with 2 decks and a mixer - I think after shipping and duties etc it came to $700. It was perfect for learning.

If you are going to start playing vinyl, the initial set up doesn't need to run you more than that, but the vinyl purchases will kill you.

If you are going to start playing CDs, the initial set up will be probably twice that if you're buying pioneer 800's or 1000's (even used) - but the music purchases after that will be significantly less than what you'd spend on vinyl.

u are suggesting 800s or 1000s ... what about the 200s, are those too old or what?

200s are really good and no they aint old...but the only thing that it lacks is vinyl mode...some like vinyl mode, some dont care. its a question of personal preference. 200s are a bang for ur buck

The 200s are fine but you won't ever see them playing out...and they are quite different in terms of feel and function from the 800 and the 1000 IMO.

Completely disagree with this. What applies to you doesn't apply to everyone.

Anyway, I've been thinking REAL hard about getting this

For tinkering around at home. From what I understand, I can load mp3s from my laptop onto both decks of this thing, eliminating the need to buy turntables/CDJs. Am i rite?

I take it from that that you didn't, I am not even going to give you the pleasure of looking.

We can argue over semantics, but I would say you did:

200's - great if you just want to mix, along with basic effects

800's - bigger, more precise, with the capability of scratching in vinyl mode

1000's - if you want what the clubs use with money being no option
