The thing is, in order for you to try it in the first place you have to invest in the Pioneer timecode vinyl. Perhaps you can purchase a subscription + buy the timecode vinyl. If you end up disliking it, you can cancel the subscription and sell of the timecode vinyl. FWIW, Pioneer seems to be going "all-in" with regards to its DJing system and expandability. The support Pioneer has provided with Rekordbox has been at a much quicker pace than that of either Serato and Traktor–and this is coming from a long-time Traktor user. Just my two cents.
