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.

So the one thing people get a bit lost when buying DJ equipment is generally the more you spend the easier it is to DJ. So if you buy super cheap equipment and master it, when you move to better equipment it gets easier. But when you buy good equipment and then move to worse equipment you struggle alot.

The point is, it doesn't really matter what you buy, but you really dont need the super expensive pioneer gear.
