Hey guys,
I have been DJ'ing with Traktor DJ Studio for years now and i finally decided to buy myself some cd players instead (already have a DJ mixer), simply because it is a lot easier in most cases to just take a bag of cd's with you to a party than to drag my laptop + midicontroller there.
This Saturday i'm planning on paying my favorite music shop a visit and get some advice and possibly buy 2 players.
Here's the list of cd players this shop lets me choose from:
http://www.musik-produktiv.de/(s(2mt2da9i0qzh090mzaa17d4l))/pa-dj/dj-equipment-16875/cd-player-18004.aspx
I am planning to spend about 800 euro's max.
So to all you DJ's out there who have been playing for years. What are the things i should pay attention to when buying CD players? I'm totally new to this so i can use all info you have.
If there is already a similar thread, sorry i couldn't find it. Feel free to redirect me to it.

Thank you, have to read a bit through the offtopic gibberish tho and it seems i don't have the choice in either of the players.
Some added info then:
Don't need bpm counters, I have them on my mixer but i never use them, in the end DJ'ing requires to be at least as precise as 0.1 bpm or your tracks will go out of sync in notime. I know about software and how to 'detect' bpm and i also know about all issues it brings and why you shouldn't use it.. If it's on the player.. fine.. will not use it. 
I want to be able to use it for different styles of music, tho i hardly believe that has anything to do with the type of players.
They should last for several years, let's say 5 at least. I don't want to end up with a broken laser or so after 2 years.
Planning to use them for 5 hours a week on average i think.

do my eyes deceive me or is it 1 box with 2 cd players? Because in that case you will off way cheaper right? Or am i mistaken and do you always get 2 players for that 1 price? Sounds a bit awkward to me..

Well if you have 2 and 1 breaks you also can't dj anymore and that will be probably the only thing i'll be using it for anyway.. Can always listen to cd's using cdplayer on computer.
Besides, i like it better when i can have my mixer in the middle and 2 decks on each side of it.
