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.
On price alone the Lenco LS-50 costs less, coming in £20 (about 22%) below the GPO Retro Attaché.
Both are belt-drive, so that part of the experience should feel similar on either deck: a motor that's mechanically isolated from the platter by an elastic belt, which is the usual route to a quieter noise floor — the default choice across most of hi-fi.
Bottom line: the Lenco LS-50 has the lower reference price; the table shows which documented features change with the £20 gap.
