New Technics SL 1200 GAE

i have a serious question as well; be honest here is the 1200g really head and shoulders above the 1210m5g that i use. has anyone around here made the comparison between the 2. i am a bit relieved to see the intro of the 1200gr at around 2k usd. did anyone hear it at ces?

ok cool, i'll check out the 1200gr for around 2k. however, the 1210 m5g does have better tonearm wiring and phono cable as well as an improved tonearm...
