All things being equal (which they never are), I'd opt for the Micro.
Now, keep in mind that this is one turntable manufacturer's bias and take my preferences in this light.
The down side of the Micro involves keeping it running, getting armboards etc.
There's a Yahoo Group dedicated to Micro Seiki turntables, and one fellow on this group has taken on the task of machining armboards for various 'tables.
They form a closely knit support network.
Cheers,
