Pioneer, since it's the industry standard. What you need is a mixer than you can master at home, so that when you go out for a gig you'll be able to perform comfortably and to your full potential. And since 90% of venues host Pioneer players and mixers, the 800 would be a wiser choice than the Korg in this aspect.
The exception would be some DJs like maDJam, who records his weekly radio show at home, and gets to take his mixer to the club where he's the resident, so in his case the A&H was the wiser choice. Or other DJs such as Sasha and PvD who specifically require A&H in venues for their Ableton needs, but when that's not available they settle for Pioneer.
But in general, I'd say Pioneer is the way to go for DJs like us. Most definitely my next mixer! Let me know what you decide.
