can't really compare the two honestly...They're totally different.

The ReMote Zero is more of a knobs and sliders controller.  Good for emulating a mixer.
The TriggerFinger is pads with four sliders.  Better for triggering samples.

My personal choice?  Evolution UC-33e with a trigger finger.  Would cost about as much as a remote zero

The problem is we don't find Evolution UC-33e here in brazil, and they don't fabricate this anymore. But you're tip is awesome... I think I'm gonna get the Trigger Finger

I have both. The trigger finger is for triggering and can work as a simple dj mixer. The Remote does a LOT more, but is built for tweaking parameters over triggering events.

In the end, I think you will need 2 things and not one. Oneel's got the right idea with his. I might still consider getting 2 of those for a live pa. I'd use each one as a separate turntable and the TF as a dj mixer. The Remote SL would then act as an FX controller for the whole setup. It's a bit of overkill, but it would be nice.

Hey, what's going to be the heart of your system? Ableton?

The remote sl's automap template for ableton has a "magic" button. It's set up to play the next scene in session mode with one press of that button. You literally could trigger 100s of loops at once with that button. Once I found that, I was set... and bored at the same time. In the end, it was a major lifesaver for me.

I would def recommend the Remote Zero over the Trigger finger ... I have the trigger finger and it was not enough controls.. .I had to use the BCR2000 w/ it for enough controls...
