well when i started learing to dj i learned off os serato but when it wa time 4 me to be on ma own all i could afford was torq... it is really useful for mixtapes and premixed music, it good in the club.... but the thing that i fault it on is the digital sound compared to serato that has the record sound and feel... so i would say they both have there perks but i still like serto better. Torq it still dose the job...
