Boofer, Do you already own the two turntables and are you trying to choose which one to sell, or are you making a de novo buying decision? I just wondered where the reference to the SL1200 comes from; it seemed to come out of the clear blue sky, since the SL1200 is so different from the two you named originally. I don't know what is the cost of an SL1200 these days, but you would have a wide choice of vintage Japanese direct-drives at very reasonable cost, if such a tt suits your audio palate. And of course a Jelco or the like can be affixed to most any turntable you might like.
