Vestax is like the Armani of DJ mixers they have them most expensive mixers out today on the market for turntablism use.  Most expensive isn't exactly always the best but if you have the loot Vestax mixers are damn good mixers and the faders last long with heavy use. The clean layout and smooth surfaces allow for precision movements. Vestax recently came out with the Samurai series mixers that have features on it that enable the cross fader to simulate a 3 click movement which in my book is called cheating, samurai mixers are a rip off. However if I were to buy a vestax mixer it would be the 06 pro samurai. Samurai mixers have digital crossfaders which don't wear out which is the only way to go with DJ mixers nowadays. 

For a Complete Review of Vestax mixers Go to www.vestax.com

1. They are overpriced and the outer casings are made with cheap plastic. 
2. The faders are VCA faders and are prone to bleeding, breaking and crackling. Also a replacement fader is 80 bucks which is  expensive for a little piece of plastic.
3. Vestax has fooled many Deejays into thinking they are the best, just because DJ q-bert uses vestax doesn't mean you have too. Plus Q-bert is unusually good at deejaying, it doesn't matter what he uses.
4. The power supplies in vestax mixers are internal meaning that they are also prone to power glitches. If the power supply gets fucked up. So does the entire mixer. Thanks vestax!
5. The headphone levels are not loud enough. 
6. Dont even try opening these mixers up. Getting at the fader and cleaning it is hard as hell.
7. It's not a Rane. haha
   
   

Personally I never got a good feel for Vestax mixers. Some people only use them and I respect that, however I can't perform well using a Vestax therefore I don't support them and I don't recommend them either. Hate me if you want but I think you work hard for your money just like everyone else so stay away from these mixers and buy a Rane!!
