Dear Mark: All those TTs are very good ones. I prefer the all metal one designs like Galibier or AS. The whole music presentation is firm, steady, thight bass, extended high frequencies, very natural mid range, etc, etc. The Wood/acrylic ones are really" soft " sound reproduction at both frequency extremes a little on the " dark " side.
Now, the Sota Millennia has an advantage that I love it: vacuum hold down record, this makes a difference for the better in the quality sound reproduction.
I own two Acoustic Signature TTs and I'm very happy with them. I like their clever design, quality control, up grade options and very trusty operation ( in 3-4 years I never had any single problem with it ). I use these TTs with a second hand Audio Technica vaccum platter.
My choice: Mambo or Galibier and the Schroeder tonearm is a very good mate for both.
Regards and enjoy the music.
