If every club I DJ'd in had Pioneer gear, I would totally use CDJ's. However, I'm not going to purchase them just to lug them around when I have so many other pieces of gear that can actually function at a higher level than Pioneer can, minus the cool "Pioneer" sticker on the side of everything. Where I live, you can barely get a mixer at most gigs, so I have resorted to hauling all my gear every time. I know my gear in and out, so if I don't perform well, it's my fault not the equipments.

If I ever become an international touring DJ, you'd better bet the 2 Nexus CDJ's and an A&H Xone:DB4 would be on my rider though.
