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.

The rest of the recorded specifications line up closely, so this database does not establish an overall winner.

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