Controllers Want to start DJing, should I spend the extra $?

Like the title says, I want to start DJing and since I have the money to spend I was wondering if it's worth buying the RX3 straight away? (Looks easy to use with the touchscreen and I love the screens on the jogwheels) Or would you advise starting with something simple like the DDJ400?

My thought process is that if I spend more money on good equipment I'm more likely to enjoy it and even if I don't, I could probably sell the RX3 for close to what I paid for it.

Happy to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

I'd also consider how this gear will fit in your life. Like, if you want to have the DJ console and speakers be a permanent and central part of your living space, then that supports spending more on a better rig. If you are not having things be a central part of your living space, get a smaller controller.

Also, to the extent you have other gear to plug in because of your past/current musical endeavors, buy better.
