I cant comment on the Feickert, but can give you some thoughts on Clearaudio.
I had a master solution and looked seriously at upgrading to or buying a master reference to get the better speed stability with the three motors and also get multi tone arm capability.
I ended up buying a used clearaudio Innovation wood that exceeds the master reference performance for less money. It's also much smaller footprint and easier to setup with only one motor. It's newer design materials better damp lp to cartridge vibrations resulting in generally blacker backgrounds. It is probably my last TT unless I hit the lottery.
If you do get the master reference, make sure it has the ceramic magnetic bearing if at all possible. It's a major performance improvement and costs a fortune to upgrade if not already there.
