Some other options you might consider are the Stantons and the Vestax. Vestax has always made turntables specifically with the turntablist in mind and Stanton has greatly improved their models in recent years. Best advice would be to spend some time with the Technics 1200's to get a baseline feel for what a turnbtable should be like, then compare the quality of others and you be the judge.
Pitch adjustment also comes in hand for beat juggling and can help a lot.

Hmm. I said I didn't need pitch adjustment because I'm not one those hardcore oldschool turntabilist types I'm already used to pitch adjusting my stuff in ableton so doing it on a turntable would be a step down for me and the main reason I want to get a turntable is to learn some scratch techniques. If it comes to beat matching or anything like that I can do that on the computer much easier and my philosophy is if you can get the same results the easy way... fuck it do it the easy way.
When I have extra dough I'm considering buying something like serato or traktor scratch.
