| it looks e, and if the price is as suggested on the other page, i'd pay the extra $120 / £60 and get the 800's. At least they're nearly like the real thing if you intend on playing in clubs |

what's wrong with them? (i own 200's but haven't played on anything else so i can't compare) |
I sometimes find it's a pain to get the pitch at, say, 1.06%. It will flick between 1.04% and 1.08%. On the 1000s it's very precise. If you want the pitch at 1.06% it's easy to get there! |

Are you a complete idiot, or just stoned?

If you decide you really want the 400's next year, they Pio's hold their value very well. |
Yah, and Richard Simmonds s women. |

| pio's prolly hold their value better than any other DJ equipment manuf. there was a time where used CDJ200s cost just as much as new ones because of a high demand |

I'm not too sure how that "improved" jog dial will stand up next to the 800 and 1000. |

Looks really impressive. It has .02 pitch right?
Can someone pls explain to me what makes a 1000 better than this?
(Aside from being cooler looking and bigger) |

Yes it does have .02% pitch.
What makes a 1000 better? Well feature wise not much at this point. The jog wheel is the big thing.
The 1000's also have a proven track record of being reliable in a club environment.
They are also extremely simple to use without a lot of bells and whistles. Walking up to a pair of these new 400's for the first time at a gig would probably be intimidating for most people. There's a lot of ways to f' up.
But yeah, this new deck just proves they are way overpriced.

Right on. Seems to me that the 400 even has almost the same jog wheel as well.
I'll prob buy 1 to accompany my 200's and tech's. |

Looks like you have to press down on the 400 quite a bit more, it also lacks the vinyl indicator in the center (though it does have that LED thing around the outside).
Of course the CDJ-1000's is much bigger as well, but for mixing, who cares? The 400 will let you cue without stutter mode, and as long as pitch bend is spot on there's no need for the bigger jog.
The 400 also lacks the wave display. That's such a nice feature of the 1000's.
