This definitely looks good, the jogwheels with the new "electro magnetic" technology seems promising, the way shiftee scratches with those mini jowheels look a bit awkward though, it could be just the size? One thing for sure is this thing definitely kills the overpriced Xone:DX with no touch sensitive jogwheels whatsoever. Although the dx can also be used as an analog mixer (sort of). As good as it looks i dont think i'll be buying this, i still much prefer the old skool CDJ+mixer+DVS setup just because i still play a lot of CDs, but for some who has gone fully digital, this might be the classiest way to go 4 decks.
It is also interesting that they sell the roadcase (look below) which doubles as a base/laptop stand - pretty clever idea! The only downside to this is that probably everyone gonna start carrying the exact same cases to the clubs and we wont know which's who's
