CDJ1000 vs SSL

Up til now I've always used vinyl, but now that I have money I've decided to add either a pair of CDJ1000s or SSL to my setup, I'm currently leaning towards SSL, but can anyone tell me if the CDJs have any features/capabilities that I wont get with SSL (or vice-versa)?
As far as I can tell there aren't many differences between what they can do, and once I factor in the cost of a new laptop, there wont be a huge difference in price between the 2 options, which is why I'm sitting on the fence a bit. |

| i think SSL is just there to play tunes,,so with TTs n SSL you can only do what TTS do.. |

My preference is 1000's. I just don't like to think about all the hooking up and unhooking I'd have to do working in a club using SSL.
I know that's not really what you asked - but I thought I'd add my opinion (and probably start an argument... grrrr....) |

| if you're a longterm vinyl user you're gonna love SSL. yeah, there is a little mess with wiring and hooking up, but I think its worth it. you can do loops and hot-cues on both SSL and CDJs so its only a matter of your love of "the feel of good ol' vinyl" ;) |

| Everything you can do with a CDJ you can do with SSL. Hooking up SSL while another DJ is mixing is easy. It just takes practice. I would go with SSL because of what's coming ahead with it. Pretty soon SSL will support Midi and video. Also, with SSL, there is no longer a need to burn CD's. You can carry your entire music library with you. |

| i was in the same boat mate, SSL without doubt, you wont regret it. SSL is what you need, its all about the vinyl. 100% SSL. |

| I have serato. And as much as i love it and swear by it, I need a pair of CDJ 1000s. Serato will add alot of versatility to your set-up, but I think CDJs are the way to go if you can afford em. Features like cue points and looping, along with loop cutting are just easier with CDJs, rather than clicking a trackpad on a laptop. |
