But at 135 you're limited to playing it at no more than 146 on Technics, while you can drop it down to 124. So you've pretty much excluded it from any faster sets. Whereas at 142 you can play it anywhere from 130 to 153 which pretty much covers most speeds DJs play sets at...
well, i'm man enough to admit that's an excellent point. i guess it's a matter of personal choice. for me, i like the ability 124 gives you to mix a fairly hard techno track with other styles, like minimal techno or house, whereas that same track can be mixed effectively with other hard techno at either 142 or 153. plus i'm one of those dinasaurs who still likes to spin his old detroit and chicago records, which sometimes seem to barely hit 130 when up at +8 ;)
