I spin records using exactly this system.

You use the digital vinyl because it feels identical to real vinyl. Those dinky little jog wheels on DJ controllers are for the pretenders, they lack the precision and weight to be much use for scratching, and are considerably more finicky for beatmatching; Serato is/was a digital vinyl system first. Those that learned to spin on turntables tend to swear by them; there is a certain tactile aspect that is ahrd to get elsewhere. (Serato has since pivoted to controllers, since CDJs seem to have taken over the club scene)
