So I've been using the DDJ SR2 for quite some time and I've outgrown it as much as I like that controller and it's always going to be a useful controller. I also have the DDJ SB2 from when I just started.
Since then lots of new generation controllers came out and after being completely honest with myself I understood that regardless of the awesome features that I love about the RANE controllers or the FLX10.
I love the specific stem control that the FLX10 provides and then the specific stem control of the RANE Performer is sporting... Each of them have a very unique way of doing it although different and I wish there was a controller that had the best of both worlds...
However, it is important to me to get used to Club setups and also sometimes I need the ability to play music without having to drag a laptop so I had to decide what was most important to me and I want to go for the AZ...
My God it is EXPENSIVE...
Would you buy it used? I rarely buy anything used but it's over $5,000CAD brand new. I likely will buy a new but I can't lie that the thought of getting a used one crossed my mind.
I also love that you could use a laptop with it for those gigs I should be using a laptop like open format weddings and corporates.
