Anyone seen this deck yet? Looks really good, I have Gemini decks (well one as the pther blew up). Not bad decks as they go, so add a CD player built in and your rocking 
The very first turntable of its kind, the cdt05 is a professional dj innovation. Allowing you to spin vinyl and cds on a single deck, at the same time and with full mp3 compatibility, the cdt05 represents the new dawn of djing. The high end turntable specifications including high torque motor, key lock, reverse play and straight tone arm ensure the vinyl dj is covered in every way. The vinyl control platter can then be switched to control the cd, for total vinyl emulation control. Looping, filters and flangers as well as 3 hot cue points also ensure a professional level cd dj performance. Combine all the cdt05 features with the ability to play a cd or mp3, and a record, at the same time, from the same deck, and we begin to see the biggest innovation ever to come from gemini's established vantage point in the dj market. The cdt05 promises to bring a level of versatility never before seen in a single deck unit.

Saying that though, the Numark x2 Hybrid Turntable looks like a beast:

The keyword here is that they LOOK good
but Numark decks only have 0,1% pitch fader accuracy (like bad rackmount cd players)...so you can't set the "perfect pitch" so they obvisouly won't be on beat as long as 12s + CDJ-1000s.
As for the Geminis...I've had a few Gemini decks before and while they're OK they certainly aren't as reliable and are definately not as good as Technics so I would stay away from spending over 1000$ on a poorly constructed turntable, just because it has a cd player.
No clubs or raves will have those things anyways.
If you're trying to save room...you're better off spending the money on getting a bigger place :P
