JC Verdier VS Micro Seiki


Has anyone ever compared the JC Verdier La Platine to the Micro Seiki RX5000? I am trying to decide between the two. Although the Verdier simulates an air bearing with magnets I don't believe it would be on par with the Micro Seiki SX8000 (Air Bearing). I will be using a SME 3012 tonearm.
Any input would be great!

Raul wrote it, you won't go wrong with either. There are some differences among the Verdiers (Magnets, Base etc.), I would say, the older, the better.
The 5000 Seiki is a very reliable unit, better than most of todays units when using a good platform, a turntable mat or something like that. The motor unit is adjustable in 33 and 45 rpm for your needs.
The 8000 is a much more complicated unit, when you will find one in excellent shape, go for it.
