Agreed. You should start out with a simple pair of vinyl decks, and a simple battle mixer.
Get the feel of how to manipulate the speed of each deck, and how to bring in the next track in such a way that makes sense in the situation. You're better off starting with some 4x4 records like House or what have you, since they're easier to beat mach and mostly stay around the same tempos. When you get the feeling of what goes into it, you'll be able to expand, and the controls of digital decks will simply be additions to what you already know, save for the way you beatmach, which will take some getting used to when coming from vinyl.
