You heard wrong. They will all work.
Try if at all possible to listen to those tables with your cartridge mounted. Not because of matching to the table. The match between the cartridge and phono stage is more important. But listening to those tables with the same cartridge gives you a better idea of the actual differences between the tables. Comparing tables with different cartridges a lot of what you're hearing is the cart not the table. Same goes by the way for the rest. Ideally you would bring the tables home, mount your cart, and then you would truly be comparing the tables and only the tables.
