What you mean is that you find that the 200's suits your budget/needs - but you can't say that the 200's are better.... :) |
Because the 1000 has more than what you need for a home setup IMO. You don't need all of those cue points and loops to be saved. You don't need vinyl emulation if you don't scratch (I don't) and the CDJ 200s have more than what you need if it's just a hobby, not a career, but still adequate enough that you can make some decent mixes with. Just not worth the wasted money, esp if you don't use them all of the time or play out. Over $2,000 is a lot for just something you do at home for fun. |

| I'm surprised no one had mentioned that the 200s have the most retarded queing on the face of the planet, stutter que...I don't even get that mess. I own a pair of 1000s and would never advise someone to get a pair of 200s, i'd rather advise on the c.314s or something (if they are on a limited budget), even tho it has a crappy cd tray, but as most of the 200 fanboys are argueing here, cd trays shouldnt be a problem if its just for home use |

Um, if you are adjusting the track every few seconds, you aren't anywhere near .02% of each other... thats such a small amount you they should stay locked for like a minute or two.

Exactly. I've mixed with 0.05% occasionally on my CDJ 200s and knowing that a certain track should be at +0.68% and the closest I get is +0.70% keeps me adjusting the pitch wheel ever so slightly every few seconds to maintain a smooth mix (Maybe I'm just a perfectionist :p). 0.05% is possible, yeah, but each person needs to consider the pitch resolution factor before spending their $$$. |

| If you can't figure out stutter queue, you're an idiot. I swear to god it's the easiest way to cue a track ever! |

I dunno, grabbing the jog wheel and rotating it over the beat and hitting "cue" is pretty easy too :) It's just like vinyl (with a cue button)

+1, no one said stutter que is hard to figure out, its just dwarfed by better methods. /sigh |

| I don't find the cueing method (stutter cue) on the CDJ 200s, any different than on my CDJ 1000s. As said, it's easy...cueing is just a matter of finding the first beat, there really is no better or worse way to cue a track. As I recall, there was a "stutter" cue on CDJ Mode on the CDJ 1000s. |

| get the used 1000's for the .02 Pitch incretments, more accurate mixing |

The 200's have that too

Once there was 200's at a party and i pee'd on them
Studder que is for retarded red headed step children that use .05% to mix. |

But still, those reason don't make the 200's better - they are just reasons of justifying to yourself why you have 200's.
I don't play out in clubs but I still find all the features very useful:
Saved cue points - I use all the time to save me wasting time finding those tricky points on a tune everytime I play them.
Vinyl Emulation - I don't scratch yet it feels much more natural and quicker to cue in vinyl mode. Ok, maybe not quite as accurate but you're only gonna be a few frames out which just requires a quick nudge).
Don'y get me wrong, I'm not just disagreeing with you for the sake of it, but merely stating that these features are not just for the 'DJ in a club'. I even find it strange sometimes when I go round my mates house on his 800's as I'm just used to the Wave display and saved cue points on the 1000's. |
