hey matt.
funny you mention this. i'm under heavy contemplation of sellin it to fund my trip to the slopes this year. honestly, its ok, but definitely not as grand as others make it out to be. for the retail price its ridiculous. the design's poor, all's cramped up, this causes too much gain = poorer sound. though, with the speakers i'm using, it neednt really matter. on top of that, it heats up like a mofo, and on summer days, will literally make you sweat. sampler also feels like an after thought, but maybe that's cause i don't know how to use it properly.
but with all that said, i think pio eq's are tight, and the cue split headphone monitoring's a beaut. also allows adjusting of x-fader curve, but *shrug* no point if u use chan faders. djm600 seems a bit of a novelty i think. something u have to have at first, but once u have it, really isnt all that great.
if ur doin research, ensure you check this out
ecler smac pro 40, from the smac pro series. made in spain, touchin it, i could already tell the build and component quality is very nice. 3 band eqs are tight, tho knobs are lil big. has a kill for each. also has a weird punch button feature which jumps from channel to channel i think. the circuit boards in it are vertically placed too, so if you spill shit on ur mixer, there's lesser chance of damage. i've yet to hear a bad things on this, and most of all its affordable. 1K for 4 chan, 800au for 3 chan. around those prices. look it up at www.futureproducers.com/forums
think viper room here at melb has one installed in their booth.
neway, i'm rambling.. its sexy tho aint it?

LMAO @ tranceilvania & joob, lol you crazy guys 
and jay-kue, you seem to lean towards battle mixers, or mixers more designed for turntablism/hip hop/scratching/rap etc.
The mixer you posted does like alright, but for trance I don't see then need for punching in or out tracks, or for such a tiny fader...
you should look more for the functions you want, than what looks pretty :P
there's some nice stanton mixers which look, and feel awesome..but they're designed for other styles of music, you can almost blow the crossfader across; it's that smooth.
But you don't really want that for trance.
I'd be looking for split cue, nice eqs, eq kills, possibly pan on channels. And separate channel vu meters.
But everyone has their own choice...

hey hybrid,
eh? *scratches head* the smac pro series is primarily used for trance, house, tech. etc. the cross fader jus seems small from the angle, but it measures the same width as the 2 vu meters on there. mayb u have it mixed up with the hak series? the punch feature, i agree u probably won't need, but its interesting nonetheless to maybe see what you can do with it. its all about innovation n creativity no? other than that, it has pretty much all the other features you need. the faders are very nice. not liquid n loose, but the kinda smooth which has that teeny weeny bit of resistance. kills are there too, but their switches are plastic which kinda feels like u can snap off if u get too excited. other than that =)
