Avid Volvere/SME 309 vs Linn/Lingo/Ittok LV-2

I have been a Linn owner for years. I have recently toyed with getting a new table because the final Linn upgrade to Ekos/Akiva would cost approx 5K. For that much I might as well get a new table. Someone suggested the Avid. Anyone with experience please chime in. Thanks.
