are the cdj timecodes also updated with the mk2
i wonder if they resolving the CDJ cue-ing issue (tapping cue on the cdj does not trigger songs like normal cds do)

it's more about the condition of your styli than how long the vinyl will last. I have vinyl that is 70+ years old, pressing techniques haven't changed so much, the composition has changed a little (with styrenes being introduced in the late 60's).
The Traktor TCV's are in no way different to a regular LP, 12" etc. so treat them with respect, keep them clean and look after your styli (correct weight, tracking, ride height) and the TCV's should last a lifetime.
Mistreat them, they won't last long. I have original TCV's in many colours/weights and they all play perfectly still, some are 2 years old
Consistent cueing /scratching at the same point, will wear down the groove sides, causing an effect called cue burn, but it's nowhere near as detectable as with a real "audio" vinyl. This cue burn can be reduced to a minimum again by carefully setting up your gear.
I ALWAYS setup the decks before I play, including taking a spirit level to each turntable to ensure they are perfectly flat (often a cause for skipping) and using the correct amount of anti-skate / weight / ride hight for the carts I'm using. Do this every time you play, and your TCV's should last years and years.
