Custom Lenco L75 vs Technics 1200's

I have been thinking of buying maybe a 1200 GR2 or 1300G but not sure it will give me better sound. I have a  Lenco built by Jean Nantais and singing pretty good with Dynavector 20 X2 MC Low output. I am using Rega 300 B Tonearm. Anybody ever compare these tables and what are your thoughts?

What would be the goal? What are you not happy with as regards the Lenco? I’ve owned a Nantais Lenco and now own a highly modified Lenco with slate plinth, dampened platter, huge custom bearing, and drive by Phoenix Engineering with Roadrunner tachometer. I also own a Technics SP10 mk3. They are both wonderful  TTs. I reckon the mk3 must be technically better but I can’t fault the Lenco either.

I was just curious to hear what a Technics would sound like compared with the Lenco. I didn't know if I was missing anything. Sounds like you have some of the best tables. Why did you get the Technics if you're happy with the Lenco, or did you already have the Technics? Thanks for your input.

Man is not limited to one TT. 
you might consider adding a motor controller to your Lenco, for a probably audible upgrade.
