To SME or not to SME?

...that is the question. I have an irrationally strong urge to sell my Orbe SE, a very nice 'table in it's own right and order a SME 20/3. I've posted an ad for a used 30/2 but haven't received any responses. I have a new SME V to mount on the table. Could the SME be a last 'table purchase, or will the urge strike again a couple of years down the road if not sooner? Thoughts, opinions from members with ownership or listening experiences with the Orbe SE or any of the SME tables would be greatly appreciated.

Sebastienl - The money you save buying from Southwest Analogue may allow you to get the table you want, or even move up from a 30/2 to a 30/12.

Rgurney...don't you end up paying a lot of the difference in import duties to US Customs? I am not sure how that works but I am assuming a good portion of the price differential just covers import duties. I may be wrong. Just looking for clarification. Thx

There is no import duty into the USA from UK for personal items like a tt I believe
SW Analogue is totally the way to go. They are super nice and very SME knowledgeable too!
