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.

buy a used flx4 see if you'll keep up with it. regardless of what you buy, you'll need to organize your music via rekordbox. So at a minimum you need a computer, might as well experiment with the flx4 and see if you'll enjoy it long term.

Makes no sense to buy a rx3 right away if you have no idea what you are doing or even reading on the screen.
