    Ive used one a few times, I would not buy one at the moment because:

    Torq Software is very poor: (a patch should be out soon though)
    Pitch goes up/down on its own.
    looses sync with VBR mp3s randomly.
    Sound quality goes horrible randomly

    Build Quality:
    The platters are not equally balanced (one spins longer than the other)
    The sliders are very loose

    Ive used it with Traktor 3 and it resolved all the software problems, but you also loose some (non-essential) features such as lights syncing with beats and other lights not working.

    I would buy it if it worked fully with Traktor, but i'm gonna wait a while and see what updates they release for it. its a shame as its exactly what i'm looking for especially the inbuilt sound card for cueing and the rest of the features are spot on too.

    S.


    PS, Torq is a no-go with Vista.
