What is the price range you consider low end.
For djing and fr I wouldn't skimp on the fork unless you are looking to impress the ladies with a lack of front teeth. A dj3 isn't that much really and the security of knowing it probably won't break and is built for what you plan to do will be worth the extra money imo.
Otherwise I can't recommend anything as I wouldn't jump on anything less than a dj3. Girls like my teeth and nose too much
