I've had a Nantais Ref Lenco for three years now, recently upgraded to Mk II status, which is a solid step up in detail retrieval, overall coherence, and speed stability. I'm very happy with it.
I also have a Brinkmann Oasis on a Minus-K platform in the same system, and used to have a Clearaudio Innovation Wood, also on a Minus-K. While I can't compare the Lenco to a TW, I can say that I preferred it hands down to the Clearaudio and perhaps to the Brinkmann, too. The Oasis is a bit more analytical, the Lenco more visceral with greater drive. Speed stability is a toss up.
If I had to keep one, it'd probably be the Lenco, if only because it takes two arms. Doesn't really need an expensive platform, either, whereas the Brinkmann absolutely does.
