As a someone who has serviced audio gear for many years, I can confirm there is a vast gulf between the quality and construction of the SL1200II clones, and the genuine Technics turntable. Most would be shocked to see the internal construction comparison.
The 1200II is a solid all around turntable, and hard to beat for DJ use. For $4000, the new G model would be near the bottom of a long list of turntables I would consider.
