| If you're going to be spending many thousands of dollars on sound, lighting, etc of course you will pay the extra for the 1000s because there is no reason not to, but for the bedroom DJ the 800s are great. I've used the 800s a few times and they felt exactly the same as the 1000s to me. |

same same but different. I own both the 800's and they do the job. I'd buy the 1000's for the looks, but i don have the money.
Buy 1000's if you still goin to afford a top of the range mixer and a good sound system. |

There are loads of things I don't like about the CDJ800 that just seem to work better on the 1000. It depends how much you do with them, but if you use them for anything more than just straight mixing then it's seriously worth looking into the 1000s if you can afford them. But if they're seriously out of your price range, I'd say get a pair of 800s rather than just hanging on until you can afford a pair of 1000s, cos a pair of Pios is better than no pair of Pios :)
If you're never going to touch the loop, would never have a use for the hot cue buttons and don't need the wave display, you're probably going to be fine with an 800. |

I played on both before I bought anything. I set a budget of $2k, so it seemed at first, tough to get everything I need. I didnt have a cent more.
I played with both the 800MK2 and 1000MK2 at GC. I did like the lightness of the 800 platter right away. The loops/hot cues/waveform didnt mean anything to me. I was mainly stuck on the .02% pitch control the 1000MK2 offered. It seemed to hold time much smoother than the 800. I played on them (and a A&H 92) for an hour or so, until I realized I came in wanting the best, and the 1000MK2 was the best. The pitch control was enough to mow me over. I found an online price, and GC price matched it.
You cant go wrong with any Pio decks. For me, the 1000MK2 was my poison. |

Both the CDJ-800MK2 and CDJ-1000MK2/3 feel the same, a far as the platter is concerned... |

Wasn't insinuating that you couldn't, just pointing that out, the FACT that they are not needed to mix great sets or make perfect transitions.

Not all of them do.
Sasha using three 800mk1 to mix one of the best sets by him ever recorded @ Aria Montreal in 2004.
Complete with loops, long mixing, and absolutely 0 wrecks.
The differences are minor. |

i personally think you would be better off with the MK2. Never had any issues with these. More than a couple of times the MK3's have glitched and done some weird stuff while playing at different clubs. the fact that they have had firm ware updates makes me believe pioneer had problems with the MK3's from the start. hardware should be perfect before putting it out. |

An utter crock of . The 1000mk3 has an adjustale platter. So how can the 800mk2 feel like the platter of the 1000mk3?
That Sasha stuff is pretty awesome! |

Ok the 800MK2 feels exactly like the 1000Mk2.
What mix DJ uses that stupid ass knob anyway?
The players feel the same. They both feel cheap. It's plastic Pioneer gear, after all.
