Advice on Vestax for Cross 2.0.1

Hello Cross users & gurus,
I need your advice on choosing a controller to rig with Cross 2.0.1.
I am hesitating between the Vestax VCI-400 & the Vestax VCI 380.
I am aware that "Slicer" etc are Serato driven...
What are your opinions on these devices and their ability to adapt to Cross environment ?
Thanks for your help.

if you look at Cross 2.0.1 and look at the VCI 400 I think there is no need to write more ;)

My voice for the 380!
Just look at those pads! You can bash the Word censored (guess you find it I love walking on it) out of it, plus I'm the guy who gets confused by more than 3 faders. :eek:

Not shure bout the DVS thru though.

Not sure you could light the needles jogs on the VCI380.

What do you mean ?
Do you mean the light on the jogs which indicates where the "needle"/cursor is ?

If the cursor/ needle has MIDI output, it can work.

I also thought the beat cycles, if they have a MIDI output that can control that.
