I know I needed the new decks to be able to practice on before I was able to play a set at any of the clubs that had moved everything across to the new hardware. Thats where I went to my trusted friends @ DJ Kit these guys are really up on the latest tools, hardware and systems and they pointed me to the new SL1210s 
I fell in love all over again, they are the same beautiful unrelenting timeless classic that I have always loved, just now they took a USB instead of the vinyl I was so in love with, I must admit it felt strange using something where I couldn't feel the vinyl beneath my fingers when I was mixing, it was a bit off putting to be honest but after a few hours it felt as natural as playing the vinyl
