Value For Money : Excellent
For how long have you been using it?
2 months.
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
CDJ 800 mk2 and mk3 cdj 1000 Mk2. Cdj 900. Denon S3700.

Most
- Pioneer Ergonomics, no time to adapt if we know how a cdj (800 or 1000)
- Quality and responsiveness Pioneer: CD playback fast, accurate pitch and BPM basic functions and effective
- Construction blameless
- Touch pioneer, no difference from the cdj 1000.
- Responsiveness and sensitivity of better than a jog CDJ 800 mk2. Level of 1000.
- Pitch + / - 6%

+ + Benefits

- USB very well managed. No bug even with a large hard drive.
- Rekordbox! Absolutely essential to move its entire library in its software pioneer. Long analysis but then used to prepare really well set.
- Display wave and mp3 tag very quickly if analysis rekordbox

Disadvantages:
- Requirement to scan files with Rekordbox for displaying the wave of the song.
- Obligation to connect a USB cradle for the display of the wave in CD playback. (I hope an update will solve this because it is very slow compared to a 1000 mk2).
- No safety in case of "pulling" wild usb
- Screen a little small (3-line display to get his pieces)
- Obligation to format the device as FAT32
- Color Gray
Not tested: HID mode and noon.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Good but still expensive ..... More expensive than a cdj 1000MK2 in 2005, however the top of the range at the time.
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
yes without hesitation because the product suits me perfectly. (Personal use)
