Rega or ClearAudio Turntable


This would be the first time buying a turntable since the early 80's. I am choosing between the new Rega RP8 or the ClearAudio Concept. Any thoughts on these models. I know the Rega RP8 is almost twice the cost of the Concept but, that's ok if I'm getting twice the quality. Any thoughts? Thanks

Traded in my almost new Rega and purchased Michelle Gyro SE and still have it since 2001. Later on rewired my RB300 with Incognito in another year of system usage.
When i decided to start from Rega P3, it lasted just 3 months after I figured that any descent vintage 80's table can humiliate even more pricey modern Rega models.
I've also thought about budget, vintage, current... it was like a vision to me that at price point of Michell GyroSE back than it was very hard to beat its performance so as is nowdays.
Due to my budget shortages later on I had to trade out more expensive components for cheaper ones, but Michelle stayed untraded and that's how I believe in value of this table.
