if you don't want to break your brains over setting up the cartridge than go for MMF-7 that is being perfectly setup for it's best and valued performance.
rega 25 is more flexible but needs more experimentation and probably will be more expencive to beat MMF-7.
If you buy Music Hall make sure you buy it locally. There seem to be many QC issues. It may be theoretically easier to set up. However, a defective speciemen may be impossible to set up correctly.
I had a MMF-2 and I had to reset the cartidge.It was on crooked.Don't expect it to be 'perfectly' set up.The low wage workers that build and assemble the tables are far from analog audiophiles.
also,if you have a problem with your Music Hall you better have a great dealer to back you.I busted the arm on the MMF-2 and I got less than satisfactory service from Roy.I had trouble getting a repacement arm from him and when he did finally agree to sell me one I got a 'B' stock arm that had nicotine on it.
I dumped the table and never looked back.
