Which turntable is better?

And then along comes this guy... Gold Note Valore 425. Seems like a legit alternative.

https://theaudiophileman.com/valore-425-turntable-review-gold-note/

Turntable hardware is bound by a set of manufacturing tolerance stackups (worst case/best case)

setup - no setup is perfect

the pressing itself

In summation of the variance introduced by the above mentioned, it is better to have 2 different turntables, different designs...Do your 'best effort' setup on both. Put a record on one, put the same on the other. Go with whichever sounds better for that record...the latter type of approach makes it simpler (helps cut down the neurosis)

(A legit upgrade in sound quality vs just a difference in sound....confounding difficult thing to discern with turntables setup above a certain point....)

You would end up with a stack of records you'd play with turntable A and a stack of records you'd appreciate better with turntable B.

You could get away with using the same phonostage for both if you bought one that means business....but, everything upstream of it is subject to the summation of above mentioned issues

What is the advantage in having more than one turntable?

Is it not spreading resources thinly when you could buy a better sounding one for the same total spend or upgrade cartridge, phono stage, etc?

Ok if I am not happy with phonostage in Unison Research Unico Due integrated can anyone suggest appropriate phono preamp for above mentioned turntables ie Ultradeck, Planar 6 or SL-1200 GR2

I vote for the Technics 1200GR!

​Thanks. That's not something I'd ever thought of doing. I see your logic.
