I'm looking to spend about £600 on a pair of cd decks.. but there are so many ... and they're not as well established as vinyl decks (technics or STFU )
I'm thinking Denon DN-S1000's as I've used their older brother (S5000's) and they were the shit...
Not sure though, as their is so much choice. Mobility is essential and so is mp3 playback - hence why the s1000s ar e leading the pack

i have Pioneer CDJ-1000 mkIIIs, and i love em to death. I use tech12 mkII's for wax, and the transition from analog to digital was a breeze for me using the cdj's. i've played on the S5000's but i just wasnt feelin' em. If i were you, i'd save that extra 2-300 and cop some pioneers. i only payed 1000$ us for the pair, though im sure you can find a deal on ebay.

Either the cdj's of the dns 1000.
I have a DNS 5000 and I love it.

I'm gonna have to do some serious shifting just to afford some DNS-1000s. If I had the dollar I would without-a-doubt go with cdj's as i've heard nothing but brillant from everyone.
I'm looking at the lower (budget ) end of the market else it would be close competition between s5000s and cdj1000s

If you want quality and affordable CD decks get the pioneer CDJ 200's. You cant get a pair for about $600. I dont believe they have Mp3 playback but you really dont want that feature anyways unless you have top quality decks. Alot of the lower end CD decks that have MP3 playback tend to have problems decoding the mp3 format. I havent had first hand experience with format problems but ive spoken to plenty of DJs who have.

I've read a ton of reviews on a shit load of different decks .. and for the money; the dns-1000's are still leading. Apparently the only problem really is the digi scratch .. which I can live without :P
CDJ200's have mp3 playback ..and the beat cut is apparently the best in its price range.. but its an extra ton for the pair ... hmm This is gonna be a tough decision

The CDJ-200s have much more accurate pitch control. I believe it's 0.01 as compared to 0.1 on the CDJ-1000s. That alone, plus the price is all I would need to hear to get CDJ-200s.
