Though I do not have a verdier a good friend does and it is a very interesting table. Engineering wise it is fascinating. Appearance wise it is very nice to some but a bit industrial for others given its price tag. With regards to sound i would rank it very highly though have not ever heard a walker. It compares very favorably in my mind to other hi end tables like the vpi (but have not heard the new top of the line) and others. With regards to reliability it is very straight forward and there is not much to go wrong but it does need careful set up. At the price point it is not inexpensive and you don't see many come up for sale but when you do the price can be a lot more reasonable (around 5). Hope this is of some help. If you wanted to chat with my friend who has one drop me a note and I will see what I can do
