^ He already has a DJM?
I tried out that Urei for a few minutes once and it seemed pretty decent. I didn't mess with the fx at all, so I can't comment on that. Urei is a Soundcraft subsidiary, and I've always had good experiences with their mixers.
I would still prefer to stick with the Pioneer any day..might not have as many bells and whistles but you can trust it'll be high quality.
  You believe in the users?
Yeah, sure. If I don't have a user, then who wrote me? |

I never got to test the urei, but if its the same company like the proaudio urei (I think a division of jbl now), I'd highly recommend that one.
the features on that site look also more interesting than the djm. (maybe I'm just too used to it?!  )
anyway, test the urei and get it

Lol, yeah probably woulda helped if I saw that part 
I second trying out Allen and Heath. They're expensive as heck, but really good. I still stand by keeping/getting Pioneer over anything else.

+1 for allen and heath too, or just stick with the pioneer
The Urei doesn't seem worth it..you already have a really nice mixer

Why don't you upgrade your pioneer to a newer one?
Monitoring devices, know where you go
Mass media, total control
Digital delight, desire in megabite
Data overflow, virtual suicide
This information, is disinformation
Truth is hidden, knowledge forbidden |

Well, it's all about Pioneer Pioneer and Pioneer.
That's why I thought it be a nice idea to have something else than 'Pioneer'.
And if quality wise the Urei matches up with the Pioneer, why not!?
I also think it looks better than the Pioneer:-) |

So I got the Urei mixer now.
This is a solid and strong looking mixer.
By the looks, I would take it over the DJM, and besides this it does have some very nice extra options which the DJM doesn't have.
Also the headphone volume is much much louder than the DJM.
On the DJM, I cannot go much further than 50 % of the volume without the sound getting too distorted.
So that's all a bit an advantage over the DJM.
But, the DJM just works very nicely, everything is in reach and it's just a joy to play with.
Where the Urei doesn't even have mid-clicks, where you know the EQ is at neutral, so you have to really look closer and adjust it a bit to make sure it is set correct.
I feel a bit bothered by the fact that I can't choose of which of the two to keep.
So for now I think I'm going to play with both the coming weeks, and see if the extra features are really worth it, or if I should better stuck with the DJM.
