Right

Ive said that I was going to get a DJM-600, but now Im looking at other options and they look good too such as the Xone:62

So would just like some recomendations from people with a DJM 600, or Xones

Cheers, Ben

a lot down to personal preference mate really. Personally i much prefer the djm's to play on; but they suit my style. A few points for and against:

most places i play out have djm's (nice to be used to what you're playing on)
xone's are meant to have better sound quality (don't know if i believe that)
xone's are much more prone to breakdown/malfunction
xone's have 4 eq's (disadvantage imo but other people disagree)
the filters on the xones are amazing
the effects interface and layout of djm's are really user friendly
djm's can really take some shit

True

I'll prob go for a DJM-600, but Im thinking should I try and get a 2nd hand one that has taken some battering or get a new one, but a bit longer saving would bag me a 800

mmmmmm

im my opinion, the xones kick ass over the 600,

the 800 is prob the best mixer available at the moment

Agreed, although i haven't spent enough time playing on a DJM 800 to really commment

Save a little more and go for the djm-800.

there's nowt wrong with a djm 5oo imo. all the rest just have extra fancy gubbins that you don't actually need and get bored of hearing quite quickly

i think quite often people get a mixer with loads of fx etc before they've even properly mastered mixing without them
