I hope not, it looks dumb as hell to me. Way beyond even Allen and Heath levels of retardation, and I >HATE< turning up to see them in clubs :-(
Mixers should be going BACKWARDS not FORWARDS in terms of design excess ;-)
tbh for dance music mixing I think the 800 pretty much nailed it. Plus, that's EVERYWHERE. There's a few flaws but pffft it's not meant to be a scratch mixer it's a rounded out workhorse.
I ****ing hate horses, mind, but I do like my 800. It is ok.
