DJ mixer recommendations
 

Seemed like the right section to post this in, but feel free to move elsewhere if not...

I recently dug my turntables out of the closet and have been getting the itch to start bedroom DJ'ing again. The mixer I have is old and terrible, so I'm looking to upgrade. I'd prefer to keep the price in the sub-$500 range as I'll only be using it at home. I want it to have a "loose" fader (or at least the option to swap one in), so I can channel my inner Qbert:p

Anybody have a brand/model they're particularly fond of?

Thanks in advance!
