I'd be careful to write off all Numark stuffs. My old Numark, the DM1800MX I think it was, lasted about 8 years, and was still quite usable, if dirty sounding when I sold it. The pots got crappy after a while, but nothing wrong with the circuitry or the wiring that I could tell. I also gigged with it a fair amount. Traxx said he still uses this mixer at home, and I know others that got lots of miles out of it. At the time, it was a relatively high-end mixer, and it wasn't until a few years later that their quality turned south, as they changed their focus to budget products. As this new turntable is a high-end device for them in contrast to their utterly appauling budget units (*ahem* Kent :), I'd bet the quality will be better (although I wouldn't take the chance myself until I've seen the long-term reviews - as you said). However, this is not the first glowing review I've seen of them. I can understand the temptation and wouldn't write them off based on their sh*tty reputation from the late '90s onwards.
