i reckon Vestax my friend. Technics are over rated and have no overwhelming features.

Vestax are plastic though

And the straight tone arm puts more wear on the vinyl, I think.

There are some newer additions

Like The new Numarks and the new Geminis

Which are said to be better than either of the two decks mentioned in this thread.

They cost more than both of them 2.

Check out the ads in the back of DJMag.

I'm in the same situation as you and I think I'm going to go with the Technics.

But I still gotta make the choice between Mk2's or Mk3's

Its a shame the pitch only goes from -8 to +8

Another deck to look at is:

Stanton 8-100 priced at 325 quid.

if you love your vinyl: Technics. That straight Vestax Tone arm is $$$$!

for what use is +/- 50% Ultra Pitch in Garage?

Open them up, turn that small pitch control thing & you have a proper pitch!
