New iPod or more DJ Equipment?

New iPod or more DJ Equipment?
So I am a mobile DJ and I want to expand what equipment I have to use. I have a good set up, but I don't have lights. I have one American DJ Green & Red laser that I got for Christmas but I want more! I also have an old second hand iPod 4 but it's only 8GB. It is just not cutting it and is making me frustrated (it is really slow and seems to glitch out allot!) My music library alone is 22GB so I want to expand to the new iPod 5.
I only have about $300 I can spend so I was going to get the 32GB. After doing a calculation I realized I'll only have about 5GB left on the iPod after I add apps and other things (Which would result in me being limited on what I can put on it). I use my iPod for Social Media, Advertising and other such things in relation to DJing.
Since I thought that would be a problem, I decided my best bet was to go and get a 64GB. Unfortunately this is $400, which is $100 I don't have. This doesn't even include tax. I was told to save for this one instead of the 32GB.
So to rap it up, I have a few questions.

A) New iPod or wider range of DJ Lights/Equipment.

B) If an iPod, 32GB or 64GB?

C) If 64GB, what ways can I earn money faster? ( I get $60 from allowance a month but %20 goes to savings, also I can factor in money from gigs for certain reasons).

Thanks in advance! I will answer questions to help you help me... lol

Go on Craigslist, look up your local area, get a nice ipod for half the price, save a little more money & Repeat

D) None of the above.

I suggest buying yourself a used/preowned iTouch 4 (the differences between the itouch 4 and the 5 are minimal, so the 4 will be much cheaper and better for you. You can find several 64gb itouch 4's on ebay for less than 250 dollars (I included one link below of one being sold for $219).

That way, you can

a) save yourself some well deserved cash
b) have plenty of space for your music
c) get pretty much the same benefits as the itouch 5, minus the 1080p recording (720p recording will have to do) and a slightly smaller screen

Again, all you will have to sacrifice here is a bigger screen, and the iPod you buy will have been used by someone else before (oh no Tongue).
