I dunno, maybe the hole between the high end £1000+ HDC products (like the Pioneer MEP7000 / CDJ900 / CDJ2000) and the bottom £450 or less end of the market (Cortex HDC/Numark/etc) is being filled by mid-range CD decks?

It still baffles me, but then again, a lot of things do nowadays.
When I got my Cortex, the retailer said they were outselling the D2 by two to one.
Yup, you can fit any standard IDE hard disk into the cradles, and the cradles are about £25.00. But then why pay for something proprietary when you can buy a 320Gb USB hard disk for £50 or so and then you can just plug it into a USB port on your PC to load it with music (whereas with the caddy drive you have to transfer the music to USB stick, and then use the DDS to move it to the internal HDD, and then wait an hour or two while it analyses and indexes it - DDS owners, please correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the impression I get from reading the manual?)

And yet there are LOTS more than twice the number of dodgy Cortex threads than dodgy D2 threads!
