Looking at all the features it has in this form factor, plus the supply shortage, I can see why it costs as much as it does. Does it mean it's a good deal? Well maybe, if you want most/all of the features, value portability in terms of form factory plus battery, and like the aesthetics. If this thing ticks a few too many boxes, some alternatives: - A portable (no battery) 6-stereo/12-mono channel mixer with FX, but no bluetooth or USB-audio interface: 1010bluebox, I have one and it's nice. About $500-600 - A portable battery-powered, 5-mono channel: bastl dude, about $200 - A portable battery-powered 2-mono channel dj mixer: raiden rpm-100, about $200 - A portable battery-powered or usb-powered mixer from unknown brands with possibly questionable audio quality: lots of choices on alibaba and even amazon, for as low as $15. I use a 6-stereo-channel usb-powered moukey on my office desk that cost $25 and is adequate for day-to-day usage but clips easily - Less portable but still small traditional mixers with ~4 inputs: lots of choices from mackie, behringer, yamaha, etc in the $50-200 range - Also: passive mixers that pretty much just sum the signals, can be found for cheap ($20 or less), but you'll usually need to connect them to something that will amplify the output
