Ive spent some time reviewing the various comments on the XP10 in forums and blogs, since VDJ has a workin relationship with the XP10 makers, I would like to know when VDJ will put forward the various suggestions comming from users to create the next generation of XP10, with all of the upgrades that will make it the top of the line controller on the market, larger motorised wheels etc etc.
I also wanted to know if there were any other controllers on the market on the same level or higher than the XP10, Ive been looking and have mainly run across the usual stuff out there.

Sounds like you have been using a high end DJ CD player and want the same the control and feel (moving platter, etc.)
In that case, try using the Time Coded CD. You can download the timecode mp3 for free: http://www.virtualdj.com/products/timecode/VDJTimeCode.mp3
Burn it to a CD and attach the cd player to your computers audio input. Go here for more info: http://www.virtualdj.com/products/timecode/

XP10 are intented to control VDJ but not for a heavy scratch. If you want to scratch use TCVs. If you already have CD-Player with motorized wheels, use TCCDs as frd1963 sugest you.
VDJ is able to work in many configurations, but you need to buy it first to have all these features working as it should.

Both of your replys have been noted,
What Im gettin at is that there are no controllers on the market (that Im aware of) that will give one both the control of the XP10 and the scratchability of motorised platters. It would b in the best interest of VDJ to push this design concept, or at least point users in the direction on NEW or unknown controller developers, so we can gain the TOTAL control we are lookin for. Any suggestions? or leads? How about talkin to Denon and develop midi control in their 3500? I have been spending the past few weeks designing a complete system built up around the use of VDJ for music video playback. The only sticking point is the choice between XP10 CDplayer or something that combines the two.
I dont like wasting money on products I wont get full use out of.

If scratching is a major concern, then I agree with ACW... go for TCV.
For control, you can use any MIDI controller alongside the TCV and map it to do everything an XP10 does, and more (aside from the touch sensitive platter, but that's what the TCVs are for.)
Or to save some $$ and space, you could use the Hercules with TCV.
