Only make the jump to the MKIII's if you want to deal with the extra buttons and effects. I use CD becuase im military and my space to store vinal is nil.
Personally id go out and spend 1500 becuase its more fun to have that much more music to build a set around then just what you currently have.
BTW where are you being quoted 1500 for a MKIII you can get them for 1300 online (or cheaper) |

| You'll save more money and have more convenience in the long run with CDJs because of the cost of vinyl and because you won't be hauling around crates. |

Umm, CDJ-1000's don't have "effects". The only difference between the MK2 and MK3 that matter:
1. Platter tension adjust knob
2. MP3-CD playback
3. Slightly higher resolution wave display
4. More storable loops
If you've already got a pair of Technics, have you considered just getting a DVS like Serato, Traktor Scratch or Torq? You'll save a BUNDLE.
And you just know that Pioneer is going to release a new CDJ-1000 sucessor soon with features like that of the CDJ-400/MEP-7000. The 1000 is grossly overpriced right now.

It's actually double the resolution. |

I didn't notice a huge difference...
But it IS useful.

| If you love your turntables, then keep using them! Stick with vinyl and grab some new tracks. |

| Personally mate I'd just go with the 800's. Theres not a huge difference and you'll be able to save money for vinyl. |

+1. Just bought an 800 and the price difference vs. the functions of the 1000 can't be justified, unless money is simply no object. And bollocks to the pitch resolution difference between them - if you can't get it locked in on 800's then you need to practise more. |
