I have enough money for a new set of CDJ200s but I'm tempted to get a set of used 1000s (MKII probably) off ebay. What would you go for?
Of course I'd only use 100% feedbackers.
How does the jogwheel compare between the 2? I found the 200 not so great, the pitch seemed to bend far too suddenly. |

1000's.
The pitching is hella-sudden on all cdj's i've ever used |

| I can assure you that either way you will be happy, however 1000's will be a better investment in the long run. |

| 1000s. Or a good thing would be to think about 800s, which are nearly the same as the 1000s. |

to be honest I prefer having .02 pitch increments as opposed to the scratch wheel/jog wheel. |

| hmm forget that, cant afford the 1000s. i might be able to get 800s second hand though |

i have the cdj 200s. You dont need the .02 pitch control to beatmatch accurately. The .05 is more than adequate. Don't let that bear on your decision.
I love my cdj 200s, then again i learned how to spin on them and would use the vinyl mode sparingly on cdj 1000s if i had them anyway.
If you want a vinyl feel, or you feel the need for a lot of saved cue points i say go for the 1000,s
but if you dont care save some money, go with the 200s, they are pretty solid too |

| Go for 800 (mk2's if possible) but if not the 200s will be great too. |

Its an extremely nice feature on the 200s... why wouldnt you factor it into your opinion?
I can mix smoothly on .1 if necessary, do I like to? Hell no. |

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 $$$. |
