This means he has a bunch of seriously kick-ass sounding music files he can then DJ with. His set will sound louder, bassier, and cleaner than all the other DJs (unless someone is spinning old-school, right off the vinyl).
So, I say the OP should capture his records at an insanely high quality, then use Serato to spin them with the integrity as the full-analog setup.

Exactly. I've been in the process of digitizing my vinyl, and it's surprising how much of that vinyl sound quality you can capture digitally. Far superior to CDs or online downloads. My problem is that I've got about 1500 pieces of vinyl to digitize, so it's going to be a hellishly time consuming project. But if you're going to put the time and effort into it, might as well do it right.
