I find the Nexus 1 model really good, the price is fair but as you wrote there will probably be a new model released soon. This means that used Nexus 2 units will drop to that price range. Ask yourself if you really need the CD drive, if not, take a look at the XDJ-1000 MK2. The only drawback is that some buttons, especially the hot cues, are on the touch screen.
