I still have a collection of older CDJs. A lot of my friends bought into the CDJ100s, but I abhorred those decks. Coming from vinyl, they just did not have a feel that felt good at all. Once the CDJ1000s came out, I finally felt that the decks had a feel that didn't feel gross. If you've never been a vinyl DJ, it's really hard to describe what it was that just wasn't right. The CDJs just felt light, cheap, plasticy, etc. Everyone felt this way, and that's why they kept changing until they got closest with the CDJ1000 and later.

To this day, I still prefer to play vinyl. There's just something about putting your hands directly on the medium. Yes, needles, scratches, pops, dust, all degrade the sound blah blah, but I still love it regardless.
