Practical differences

Highlighted cells show a lower reference price, support for more listed speeds, or the presence of a convenience feature. They are not an overall score.

Both are direct-drive, so that part of the experience should feel similar on either deck: instant start-up, rock-steady speed under load, and enough torque to nudge or backspin the record — the reason DJs and scratch decks are built this way.

Beyond that, these two are close in the recorded fields. Build quality, condition, setup and dealer support are not captured by this table.

Bottom line: both are £450 at reference price — price doesn't separate them, so the table above is where the real differences show up.
