Hi,
I just got a 398. A 398 is the same as a 208, except it comes with the spring-loaded 980 arm. There are two versions of the 980 arm - the original one, and a later arm that had anti-skating.
All Empire models that I'm aware of are belt drive.
Some prefer the early models, which had a much heavier platter than the later models.
