3 vs 8 hotcues on CDJs

The big benefit with CDJs has been the fact that they were predictable and instantly familiar when using them across venues/gigs.

With the new CDJ 2000 NXS2, the addition of 8 hotcues (similar to Pioneer controllers) introduces an issue. DJs that prepare tracks in RB and use all 8 hotcues only end up having 3 to use on CDJ2000s.  

Unless you're David Guetta or Tiesto, it is difficult to request Nexus2 on riders so we end up playing on the CDJ2000 nexus with 3 hotcues. 

I understand that over the next few years, venues will eventually switch to the newer units but until then, Pioneer owes it to the DJs, venues and fans to add 8 hotcues to existing units. This can be achived with a firmware update that allows uusers to access all 8 using the touch strip. Similar to slip rolls where pushing on parts of the strip will trigger rolls, pushing on the strip should trigger the 5 additional cues.  

Of course, DJs that want the physical buttons will dish out the $4000 to upgrade their home studios but this upgrade has caused a huge divide in the pioneer line. 

I'm at a crossroads since I use 8 hotcues and am fine when using my controller, or using RBDJ, but the second I show up at a gig with USB sticks i'm stuck using my first 3 cues.
