    i bought a mk3 for 150 quid. its immaculate. barely been used.

    i dunno how different it is to the mk2s really... it simply has pitch lock and a dipless 0. i expect its the same otherwise.

    either way they are all solidly good decks.

    have the mk3's not actually been discontinued anyway?? I know of a few retailers that don't stock them anymore, and have since hiked the prices of the mk2's up!

    Defo go for the mk2's mate. At the end of the day, the majority of the differences between the mk2's and the mk5's are just aesthetic. Under the lid its the same workhorse!

    yeah cant get mk3s any more. Altho they perform no different to mk2s.

    afaik!

    and yeah. the 1210 was a bargain. infact i apologise i paid around 160-70 for it. Even still i could sell it for nearly 250+

    lovely solid decks, my vestax are brilliant too. the ultrapitch helps with pissing around a bit and playing tunes nice and fast (and yes.. i do actually use it. its not just a gimmik)

    Different clubs use different decks, the only differences between those 2 is the pitch reset and that there is no 'click' at 0 pitch, nothing at all really.:)
    If your going for one of those 2 just get whatevers cheapest!
