Intro Controller

Hi guys,

After lurking this subreddit, obtaining a copy of Traktor, and watching a couple of tutorials online, I finally have enough money to buy an intro level controller. After searching awhile on craigslist, I have narrowed it down to the Nunmark mixtrak pro ($175) or the Traktor Kontrol S2 ($375). Obviously the S2 is the better option, but is it worth the extra 200 dollars when I am just starting out and have no real idea what I am doing?
