I wrote this guide as a frustrated Traktor user, trying to find out the various differences among CDJ / XDJ hardware. I was specifically interested in Loop limits and Beatjump functionality. Coming from Traktor and using Beatjump extensively, the only options are the CDJ2000NXS2 and the CDJ3000. Neither are cheap, but at least used CDJ2000NXS2 prices have come down a bit into the $1700 range.
