Ive used both the technics & the pioneer & imo the pioneer is the better deck for a ' vinyl ' feel plus if a clubs got cdjs there usually pioneers. The Technics still are very good & easy to mix on, plus they look like the bitches tits alongside a pair of silver sl1200's

Ive also had a play on the Numark cdj with the 12" vinyl on the top, its good as a budget alternative & easy to mix with but just doesnt have the build quality or some of the features that both the Technics & pioneer have.

Pioneer all the way my man
