This is a nice piece of kit. I'm using the TM8 right now but researching so I can make the most informed decision for my next upgrade. I eventually plan to pick up an analog mixer for Serato, or a controller with DVS and standalone mixer functionality. There are some nice features on the SZ, but I'm not sure if I want to get a single piece that's so large. I'm not sure yet if I'd miss the CDJ sized jogs and the tension/brake adjustments. I like the mixer layout, and mic controls, but I'm not too sure about the oscillator section, and the Serato FX loosing the post-fader function kinda sucks. It definitely resembles the CDJ-DJM setups more closely, and I like the sampler player being on a knob instead of a center upfader, but I'm sure I'd get used to either. The dual USB is something I would likely never use, or could do without on the rare occasion that I would use it.
I will also have to compare this with the SX2, and cant wait for some reviews and user input on that piece. If the channel filters are hardware and can be used on the mic and analog sources, that would likely be enough FX for me, along with the Serato FX of course. I can live with the mics being on channels 3/4. RGB pads and DVS capability, as well as Flip controls make it appealing. Hoping that the jog updates are solid, and it can do backspins now. With the updates the SX2 is at the top of my list right now, the price difference and size difference to the SZ just have me thinking I can "live with" what the SX2 offers, and do without the few things the SZ has that I'd like.
The MC6000Mk2 has some great plusses, but lacks some things as well, and the layout is cramped a little. It's compact so if that's a key concern I could see that as either a plus or a minus, or both. It really is a nice piece of gear, and along with something like a Reloop Neon it will stay on the short list for now.
This is going to be a tough decision, I guess all that I can hope for is that Reloop comes out with a Terminal Mix in the meantime that makes the decision easy... a TM12 or something like that. I know this is a decision that ultimately I'll have to make myself, but any input from any of the folks at AGIPRODJ would be most welcomed. Thanks again for helping me get started with a great setup, I'll be in touch as soon as I'm ready to buy some more bits, working on a list of small stuff at the moment, like a table cover for my new table. Keep shining folks....

Doesn't Split Cue work where you can choose what channels you want to hear through your headset? I don't seem to have a mixer that can do that.
