Traktor S4 MK1 Worth It?

Paska Kori

I have no DJ experience. I am new to music creation. Traktor S4 looks like a lot of fun. I'd like to pick up the MK3 model but I cannot afford it. I have a chance to pick up a S4 MK1 for cheap. I saw a comparison video online that said the MK3 was a big improvement compared to the MK1. So I know I am not getting the best possible S4. That said, is there any reason I shouldn't pick up the MK1?

Personally, i would pick up at least Mk2 because of current (and future) set-ups are likely to not work with the Mk1. Also there is the S5 which can be gotten rather cheap if in store someplace, like for example at REVERB (<--link), which has both S4Mk2 and S5 for about the same price. The B-stock is top notch.
