Which CD-Player To buy?!?

Guys...
I need ur help..
i wanna buy one of these cds:
American Dj Pro-Scratch 2
OR: Pioneer CDJ100S
the mixer will be Behringer VMX300

Now plz dont tell me to take the pioneer coz every body takes it and they are in most of the clubs and all..
plz tell me if u used thse and u know them well...

American Pro-Scratch2:
PowerTouch Wheel, a touch-sensitive interactive jog wheel
Digital Scratching 2.0 for precise scratch control
2 scratch modes: digital scratch and beat juggle mode
9 onboard effects give you scratch, filter, echo, trans, skid, phase, flanger, pan, and bop
4 preset parameters let you tweak each effect
Tempo lock
Lockout mode (for security)
Parameter ratio adjustment knob
Parameter time adjustment knob
Pitch bend (±4, 8, and 16%)
3 flash start sampler buttons (7-second sample per button)
Flash cue
Anti-shock memory
Instant start
Seamless loop
Fader Q start
Reverse play
Volume control between music and sampler
Mixer between music and sample (can adjust pitches separately
FX mix on the fly
Auto cue function (-48dB)
3 sampler cues can be memorized
Selectable elapsed, remain, and total remain time display
Single/continuous play
Flip flop (relay playback between two decks)
Headphone output with volume control

Pioneer CDJ100s:
Digital Jog Break
DIGITAL JOG BREAK provides analog DJ effects at a turn of the JOG DIAL so new and original sounds can be made. This player is suited for a wide variety of music genre with digital effects. It is both versatile and easy to operate.

Jet
Jet Sound wave is created by adding SHORT DELAY. This is similar to FLANGER which DJs make by using 2 analog turntables

Zip
The pitch of reproduced sounds can be changed without changing the tempo. Lowering of the pitch by the JOG DIAL produces the sounds resembling those made by slowing an analog turntable (Braking effect).

Wah
The audio level of a certain frequency can be made strong or weak by the turn of a dial.

HOLD Function
With the button on, the present JOG DIAL state can be maintained even while taking your hand off the JOG DIAL. With the button off, it returns gradually to the original state. You can use this button whenever you want

Slot In
The SLOT IN Method allows Smooth changes between discs. It takes about four seconds to load your song, fastest in the industry

Quick Start
When you hit the Play button the CDJ-100S starts the music instantly (less than 0.01 seconds) so you can match rhythms with pinpoint accuracy.

Compact Body
Measuring just 8-9/16" x 3-3/4" x 12-1/4" (217.7 x 94.5 x 310.7mm), the CDJ-100S is packed with all the features you'd expect of a professional CD player, all of which makes this machine ideal for mobile DJ'ing.

Jog Dial
This large, quick-response dial makes frame-by-frame search and point selection easy and accurate while providing a closer-toturntable feel.

Super Fast Track Search/Super Fast Search Function
Turning JOG DIAL with the press of the TRACK SEARCH/SEARCH button allows higher speed search. This function is convenient for CDs with many tracks.

Tempo Control
A two-step switch allows you to set the tempo range to either -16% +10% or +/-10%, while a long-stroke slide provides rapid control over playback speed.

Master Tempo
An industry first, this new Master Tempo control locks in the music's pitch even when the tempo changes. Now you can vary the beat with no change in vocal or instrument tone.

Playing Address
A light bar provides an at-a-glance graphic indication of elapsed playing.

Cue Functions
CUE POINT. You can set the cue point by a frame unit (1/75 second).

BACK CUE Function: Press the Cue button while playing the unit to go back to the cue point and start over. In addition, you can go back to the song's start point whenever you want at a press of the button.

AUTO CUE Function: Auto Cue automatically locates the song's start point even if it differs from the track's frame, allowing the player to start instantly at a press of the Play button.

CUE POINT SAMPLER Function: The sound from the memorized cue point for as long as 1 minute can be reproduced by one touch, which can be used as the start point check and the sampler. In addition, real time cue point input makes it easy to set and change the cue point.

Fader Start & Back Cue Play
When the CDJ-100S is used with DJM-500, DJM-300, or DJM-300-S mixer, You can start the music with a fader or cross fader, or use them to return to the cue point.

Relay Play
Connecting two CDJ-100S allows one song to be put on standby while the other plays (Auto cue must be on). Relay Play automatically starts the second unit at the end of the song for uninterrupted play. This continues back and forth until both discs are done.

Vibration-Proof Contruction
Vibration-Proof Construction is achieved by utilizing technology found in Pioneer's car-audio CD players. In addition, the CDJ-100S is equipped with Protect Guard to help avoid turning the power off, or ejecting a disc, accidentally, during your performance.

Digital Output
For digital recording (Normal play mode only).

i've used the pioneer cd players and they're great, but it seems like you're wanting to get the american dj cd players
so just go buy them then

if you're unsure, test them out
go to a store that sells them and try them out

i doubt you'll find anyone on here that has played on both
so any opinions will be biased
