So What's the Plan Phila?

The title explains what this post is about. Except for the Phila part, which is my name. Since I'm on the name topic I've been thinking of DJ names I might like for when I become huge and play in front of millions, haaa. I don't think I want to have DJ in front of my name so some names I've thought of are:
1) It's Phila Baby
2) Phila P
3) Phila Baby P
4) .....more to come.

Anyways, back to the original meaning of this posting, my plan. While thinking of my plan, only one thing came to mind, what the hell am I gunna do? I have no clue where to start, how to learn things, or even the technilogical wording of DJing world. Oh well, I'm not worried. Why not? Well 1) Because you can do whatever in this world if you really want to and 2) Everyone had to learn somehow and someway. I've started doing research on the type of equipment I'm looking to start off with. The decision between vinyl and CD equipment came easy for me because I have much of my music on CD's and I'm looking for more modern ways. Obviously, I'm going to go with cd players.

Right now I'm deciding between (2) Stanton C.324's and (2) Pioneer CDJ200's. For me it is a very tough decision between those two models, buying new or used, and on Ebay or from Guitar Center. Looking at everything I'll need I'm looking at spending around $1000 just to actually get started learning and working with this equipment.

Deal-breaker: Since I'm mainly into hip-hop the Stanton is more appealing b/c it has scratching ability, which would work well with my genre of music. However I do know Pioneer seems to be the leader in this field and have had heard little complaints about these decks. They say once you buy Pioneer, you never leave em. I'll have to sleep on this decision a little longer, but I am looking to get started soon. Also I'm considering financing rather than paying all up front due to the fact I am a college student (Michigan State University what up).

Anyways, I plan on going to Best Buy to check out the Stanton and also hit a guy up about the Pioneers. Let ya know the rest of my genious plan after equipment is taken care of.
