Mixer question

OK I know alot fo mixer threads have been posted, but I don't know how many scratch DJs there are in board, so this is for the scratch/club DJs...
What mid priced(250-350 USD) mixer is good for scratching/trance and house mixing? I'm looking for...
-Fader quality
-Sound stregnth
-EQ quality
-Good looks wouldn't hurt either
Any help? I keep leaning towards the Ecler SMAC Pro 30 or Pro 40(eclerdjdivision.com)...I intend to integrate effects processors and CD turntables in the future, so having more than two channels is a biggie(that's why the Pro 40 is coming into mind... )
Any testimonies on these mixers? I heard you can't go wrong for the price...but then again personal experience is always the best.
Thanks for the help.

ofcourse I can, but I know some1 who knows much more of it. His name is Nabistai, a friend of mine. He has it, I played it, it mixed GOOOOOOD! The beatmatcher isn't 100% correct, but I dont know many mixers or TT's that have a good beatmatcher. It has a kill function for low, mid, and high. -+ 12Db for the 3 bands, built in surround.
In fact, there are 2 channels that have a phono/line input and then there is the mic input. But the mic input can also be used as a 3rd line or phono input(but fading in inpossible with the mix channel)... Well, questions about it, PM Nabistai, he'll give you lots more info. just let me tell you this: dont do for the VMX200, it looks the same, but you better go for the 300.

greets!

I think Tiger summed the most important things up. Basically you can find all of the stuff you need on the vmx300, it's got crossfader curve buttons for each channel too (believe me these are usefull!). I don't think I need to replace him soon

Dude, for a bit more money, you can get The last mixer you'll ever buy for scratching/mixing Allen and Heath XONE 02 battle mixer



Stereo Pro turntablist DJ Battle Mixer
From inputs to outputs, Allen & Heath created Xone:02 to be the world’s greatest battle / scratch mixer. Every fader is a deluxe VCA design, they’re all reversible, they all have contour controls and they can all be easily replaced by removing the steel faceplate. We’ve kept the fader area clear for action and we’ve kept controls like pan and EQ out of the way on low profile sliders. Even the transform switches can be rotated to work the way you like them. Don’t go into battle with anything less.
FEATURES:
2 Dual Stereo Channels Channels have RIAA [RCA] inputs, switchable to line, plus stereo line level inputs [RCA], each with gain control. Powerful
3 band ‘music’ EQ on sliders. High quality 45mm faders. Input reverse switch for battle mixing. Pre fade monitoring on 12 segment 3 colour peak reading bar meters
Mic Channel 2 XLR inputs with separate gain controls, on switch and 3 band EQ with HPF. Routes direct to mix outputs. FX insert on button
Stereo Mix Outputs Balanced mix outputs on XLR with multi-point VCA level master control. The mix output level can be displayed on the 12 segment 3 colour peak reading bar meters
Booth Output RCA outputs with level control for booth / link out to additional ‘daisy-chain’ mixers
FX Loop Channels have an effect loop on switch with silent FET switching. Effect insert points are separate [TRS] inputs and outputs
3 Band EQ Powerful 3 band 12dB/oct EQ with ‘asymmetric’ characteristic: +6dB boost emphasis and -26dB cut for frequency band elimination
VCA Faders High quality dual-rail, gold-contact, conductive plastic 45mm faders with contour control, reverse switch and led.
Crossfaders can be upgraded to ultra-high quality Penny & Giles conductive plastic faders, and can be substituted in minutes by removing the faceplate
Transform Switches Performance channel mute controls which can be rotated to work up/down or left / right Engineer / DJ's Toolbox High powered headphone output with level and mute switch. Booth / link output on TRS with level. 12 segment
3 colour bar metering displays CH1&2 or mix. Channels have 12 segment 3 colour bar meters. CH1 / CH2 cue fader allows preview of x-fades
PSU High performance internal switched-mode power supply. Universal mains input voltage
right now you can get it for under USD $500.00 PM me if interested.
