I've used the Pioneer DDJ SX before, as well as tons of CDJs and vinyl turntables.
My go-to DJ rig is still a couple 1200MK2's and a decent 2 channel mixer (pioneer or otherwise).
Honestly, I was really impressed with the DDJ SX. The cue point buttons under the jogwheels make things really fun. I can set several cues in a song and kinda play out samples MPC style before mixing in the song. Quality parts, etc. Lots of fun IMO even as a usually all vinyl DJ.
If I was going to switch from vinyl, I'd be torn between nice CDJs, a DDJ SX, or the Numark NS7. The NS7 has to get a nod because of the motorized patters; It's the only non-vinyl or non-timecode setup I can scratch on properly and intuitively.
