Direct drive tables have a lot to offer.
Almost all the hype surrounding the SP10R and SL1000R Technics tables is coming from Stereophile and Technics themselves; try looking for information & reviews from other sources. With the Technics SL1000R at $20k msrp, you probably don't want to overlook the sub-$20k VPI HW-40 and the Grand Prix Audio Parabolica, the latter likely being the most speed stable of the three. I too would want to pick my own tonearm.
