i've got the axis 4, had it about 2 months now and i'm well happy - especially as it was only £130 inluding delivery, brand new, with warrenty etc...
the jog wheel is pretty decent. takes a bit of getting used to obviously, but once you get the hang of it, it's really effective and precise i find - you can adjust quite dramaticly in the imx and it doesn't sound as if you're doing so... if that makes sense.
i alternate between that and the pitch bend buttons (which are slightly more effective for minute variations)
cueing is simple as - again, once you get used to it. you can search through the track pretty well too. cd loading time is fairly quick for a slide draw. bpm counter is a bit wank, but then you don't really need that.
can't really think of any bad points for the price really. pitch fader takes a bit of getting used to, you have to be really
reallyprecise with it.
but i'd definatly reccomend it
