I have the ecler because im a turntablist, but ive also had a stanton sk2F which was an absolute blinding mixer. The 2 flagship stantons are both around the 300 mark, and i have used this 3 channel one - http://www.decks.co.uk/products/mixers/stanton/smx501 which was extremely good, and this one is the replacement for the sk2F, which i have yet to use - http://www.decks.co.uk/products/mixers/stanton/sa8

Dont just go off my advice tho mate. Try them out, and see what you think. They arnt everybodys cup of tea, but i swear by them. Get yourself down to a decent store and try as many different scratch mixers as posible. Stay away from vestax if you can. The ecler and rane mixers are hard to come by tho becuase they are very specialised mixers...
Cheers mate, i'll bear this in mind.
I have been leaning over towards the Allen & Heath mixers, the Xone 32 & Xone 62. Have you had any experience with those bud?
On the Xone32 are the transmute buttons those "punch in" buttons, if so are they any good? Is there any other models which have the transmute apart from the 32?
