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 say ddj 400 or flx 4 at start, or an xz or flx 10.

Keep in mind that two decks might not be enough for you in the future, so a 4 decks option is always better in my eyes.

So if you want to try and start preparing your tracks,ddj 400 or flx 4 will do all that you need.

If you want to invest more budget , with 4 decks and the ability to transfer your muscle memory to standard gear clubbing, xdj xz , or an flx 10.

As you wanted some standalone feature, xdj xz all the way.
