As far as ease of use...which brand/model.....

As my other threads have stated...I am contemplating getting a table...but left out one important question...in regards to "ease of use and operations"...what are the better "starter" tables...both new/used.. Thorens comes up...but have heard they are difficult to work on...any word on Projects or Musichalls?...I realize that all turntables are high maintenance(like women in this regard)...but would like to know if some are easier than others(again..like women..)
