I bought a pair of Technics SL-DZ1200 (the CD Versions) and have no regrets what so ever. Could mix beat before, but now I can scratch and mix somewhat like the pros with Vinyl.
I've heard Vinyl is better, but, unfortunately for me, where I live, I can't buy records of the songs I like, so I have to burn them onto CDs. I usually burn MP3 CDs which allow me to have around 130 songs or more on each disc, and they use the ID3 Tags from the songs, which allow me to quickly browes for the songs that I'm looking for without searching through collections of CDs and allow me to begin mixing even faster. Also, they do have sound effects, but there are only like 8 and they are ok, not that good. I depend on my Crossfader Mixer's effects for that, and some other FX unit on the side.
Please note, just as this turntables do have disadvantages, they do have advantages just like every other turntables, you have to go and test them out in person, to see if what you hear is what your looking for. Also, check www.youtube.com, as some people show differences between different DJ equipment, and you can get an idea, as to what you might be looking for. Don't go with what everybody tells you, everybody is different, and one turntable might not be right for you, while it is right for other people. I can't say it enough, test it out yourself at some music equipment store for yourself and decide, ask the workers there to learn a bit more about each equipment.
Wish you the best of luck in finding what you're looking for.

For records get 2 Tecnique 1200 decks (because they were and are the standard of well built turntables that aren't made of plastic), one DJ Mixer (Gemini are good, so are Rane, I got an old Roland one for myself) and a good set of head phones and you can do it quietly at home.
