As an afterthought, if I look at the list, I see mainly low end (modular) controllers, the S8 being the high end exception and the two Akai's kind of floating in the middle.
I am seriously confused by people wanting to buy the S8 which is designed bottom up, top down and side to side to be 100% Traktor compatible and then turn to Cross as their software platform. Imho there are plenty of other controller options that would fit the bill better.
And I personally feel it would be a good plan to make sure you support the main controllers from the main brands.
Based on the current "compatible controllers" list:
Pioneer: DDJ-SZ, DDJ-SX2, XDJ-1000
Denon: SC3900 (for those spinning platter enthusiasts), MC6000 mk2
Numark: iDJ Pro, NDX-500, NV
Reloop: Beatmix-series, Terminal Mix 8
Just my two cents, as usual
