A shoebox-Gemini.

What is so special that you like most and least?

Most

-Quality manufacturing and design cool
Cue Split it that will listen to the program right and the left cue
pieces for "difficult" ...
The sound-
-The well thought out ergonomics
The integrated sound card, avoiding an investment for those who want to register.
-Ease of use *
, The equalizer
Some effects, and well thought out section (Echo, Delay, Loop, Rev-Loop, Reverb, Echo Reverb, Trans Beat Breaker and with what can be created perso.Il pattern is excellent that one ...)
-Setting the cross fader tension
Rotary-knobs of good quality
-Ability to "kill" with the equalizer.

The -

-Those who wish to control software will no longer use the section
effects ... bad ...

-Channel Faders too hard for my taste.

BPM-Detection of erratic with some songs, however well marked, even
mode "TAP", which poses problems of sync with the effects loop between
autres.mieux is sure of the result to the headphone before throwing cash ... But
when it works, it works!

Unable to grind-type effects Flanger, Phaser, are Reverb.Ils
systematically set on the BPM (4 / 1, 2/1...etc) ... Re-pity ...

-* (See above ...)

How would you rate the quality / price?

Correct-I pense.Il is surely better but more expensive ...

With experience, you do again this choice?

I think if I had to change, I would resume without a MIDI and void, just accompanied by a Kaoss Pad 3 (I ordered anyway ...)
However, this table is to me a product correct.Je am not a "must" but I do not recommend it either.
