Hey fellas,
Check this out:

The M-Audio Xponent/Torq solution is $599.
It includes a soundcard/MIDI controller (USB) and DJ software (Torq).
It has chunky jog wheels and the software has nice, superimposed tracks for lightning quick reference when needed.
This looks like a hell of a value compared to Vestax's VCI-100, which is $600 just for a MIDI controller, with ugly, flat, plastic jog wheels!

Any one care to weigh in on this?
I'm not totally locked into using Virtual DJ, but I am close to buying a PCDJ DAC-3 MIDI controller to use with my laptop/Virtual DJ/Numark CM-200 USB mixer setup. If this M-Audio kit demos well I might scrap my PC DJ gear and get this totally integrated solution as I am all about ease of use and pain free functionality.
What thinks the good folk of the forum?
