Which DJ controller / DJ system should I buy?

The following problem: I do not know which of the two devices I should buy.

First of all I want to say that the XDJ-XZ is quite heavy for my wallet anyway because of its price (2200 euro), since I'm only 17. But no matter at first.

I would like to know which device of the 3 you would recommend to me. In an emergency, however, other suggestions are reluctant because I would very much like to stay with Pioneer.

My current status is as follows: I have been dealing with Djing for roughly 5 years. Sometimes I was a little less interested for months and sometimes more. (Because of school, for example).

Anyway, the first thing I had was a small Hercules, then I bought a DDJ SB3 but sold it again after a year because it was just too small for me and I therefore lost some interest. And for 1 year now I have nothing to mix because I'm just 17 and can't just buy a 1000 euro + device.

But now I'm planning to buy one and need help.

I'm definitely more than advanced in terms of the status. I understand the structure of the songs, I can make good transitions even with songs I've never heard before (I think about something based on the waveform) and creativity with effects and loops etc. I also have.

That's why I want to buy a bigger one. I also plan to go to clubs sometime.

In any case, I decide between the 3 below. For sure, at least until I'm 18, I'll just be home, which is why standalone is not that important. But I would be confident of the future.

I have a Destop PC so I would only have to buy a laptop if I didn't have a standalone device and I should already go to clubs when I was 18 AND they didn't have anything installed.

So which one should I take? I attach importance to effects and especially I prefer the "new" club layout with the controllers Say DDJ 800, 1000, 400 etc.

Please REASONED and thanks for reading so far

2 turntables + mixer + records.

Then you don't even need a laptop or PC.

For loose under 1500 you get a good mixer + 2 good record players.

I'm also a big turntable + mixer, but that would not be worth it for him. Records are expensive and in my opinion such a setup is only worth it to have a good feeling or to scratch.

is supposed to be a great part, has just come out recently. It is also great for you, because it is logically standalone and has a crisp display. So you don't need a laptop

Honestly: none of them. The jump from an SB is enormous and for what you have in mind, the devices make little sense for various reasons. In a nutshell:

DDj-1000: Basically good controller, but unfortunately often problems in the effects section.
DDJ-RZX: Good controller if you don't have to transport it. The thing is huge, heavy and totally unsuitable for most clubs.
XDJ-RZ: It annoys me because you can only use the USB function on two decks. Otherwise at a high level. I would not buy it though.

I strongly recommend the following:

If the jogwheels are not quite as important, say the style is more electronic, DDJ-SX 2 or SX3, quiet also needed. It also has space in every DJ booth.

If the jog wheels are important, e.g. For scratching, DDJ-SZ (2), also used.

So you save a lot of money that you can then put in laptop, headphones or music. Both SX and SZ are fully suitable even for professional use.

Great Mancko: Without DENON Prime, all this is no good. Ergo: If you don't feel like having to rework all tracks at some point, you shouldn't commit to them.
