Would be a very nice mixer.

In my experience Vestax don't have the best sound quality though. I've owned one, but used a few. I had an 07Pro, and only used other similar scratch mixers... So the other mixers they make, aimed more at the club type of environment may have better sound as a result of different circuitry... but it might not. One of the main things you want is good eqs, and again, the vestax mixers I've used didn't have good eqs. Keep in mind they were all battle mixers, and something like what you posted above should be better, if not for the price you pay, for the fact that the people who are buying those mixers are going to want/need good sound quality more than your average scratch dj.
Make sure you check out what else is available though. If you want to be picky, take somethig into a store and ask them if you can play it through a couple of mixers that you're looking at and see for yourself.

The 37Pro would be a nice piece of gear to have, though. It just depends on what else is available for around the same price. What do you use at the moment?

Word. That's what I got at the moment. Coming from the 07Pro, the difference in sound quality, especially the eqs, was dope.
