A DJ friend of mine once owned a DJ70 and has thankfully sold it. Horrible
user interface, and you must do lots
of confusing twists and turns just to do simple tasks. Also, it tended to
crash on him at inoppurtune moments.
It appears the Akai MPC-series samplers are the DJ's sampler of choice both
in the booth and in the studio.
Like I said, Avoid Roland samplers like the plague!
