Which Turntable??

It is time for me to go back to vinyl.

For a turntable I am debating between a new Pro-Ject Elemental belt drive with W & F given as .14% & a used Technics SL-1800 DD with W & F given as .025% wrms.

Is this a typo or is the 1800 really that much better? Technics describes their W & F as infinitesimal.

Any comments will be appreciated.

Thanks---r

Japanese DD tables from the bigger firms, Sony, Pioneer,
Sansui , Technics, Yamaha, Luxman, Micro-Seki, back in the 70's had the best QC ever seen in audio.
Top of the lines were works of art.

EXCEPT, the first Pioneer he tested had very sloppy bearings. BIG if.

If I have to take a new TT to a tech to check the bearings I ain't buying it. YMMV
