Two part question about modern and good looking

Firstly, I want to know what constitutes a modern table? Many of the so called modern tables seem to have a design that is very similar to many of the vintage tables. Is the arm design better now, then say a dynavector 501? And in this does the modern design take hold, or is there more to the tables being different.

Secondly I am looking for another table, one that is less fussy than my Linn, and one that looks good. I like the look of the Oracle's, as well as some of the Sota's I have seen, other recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for something less expensive than the Linn if that is possible, and leaning towards the oracle premiere advertised on here. Any ideas and help are needed.

There could not be fundamental changes because the turntable's working principle remains unchanged - the equably spinning platter, cartridge bearing tonearm, cartridge with cantilever and needle (which converts mechanical vibrations into electrical current). Since I follow the development of the turntables it has gone (and it is still ongoing) in two areas - the changes that (should) improve the sound, and aesthetic changes (design).
