My guess is that you will wait at least another whole year for a replacement of the CDJ-800MK2 because it's pretty new.
And what player will fit you depends on the kind of DJ you are.

To be honest, what has made me consider the 400 recently was when i had the 800 and 400 side by side and looking at the two; it seems like the 400 has everything the 800mk2 does but with some extras (and of course your getting all that for cheaper.
Am i right in thinking that the only thing you do lose from the 800 is the vinyl speed adjust, the auto beat loop buttons and the quick return button?

I think at the moment im swayed towards the 400. For me it seems like im going to be paying an extra £70 for a bigger jog and less features...
I hope you can see the difference. The CDJ-800 is meant for old skool dj-ing, while the 400 caters the younger generation dj's, who like producer's features i.e. a load of efx and digital compatibility.
Probably the technology behind a pro grade jog is more expensive.

I don't think that e new CDJ-800 will come very soon as the MK2 only has been around for about a year.
