Basis or Michell GyroDec

I'm wanting to get back into analog and I'm looking at the the lower-end Basis tables (1400 and 2000) and the Michell GyroDec. (I am open to the Regas, but these others are more appealing to me.) While I haven't auditioned the two brands, I do understand that they have different sounds. Were it not that you have to spend $3K with Basis to get a suspension, I would probably go that way instead of the Michell. Not certain I need a suspension, but I suspect I do with raised floors and a good but not great equipment rack. A high priority in this decision is ease of use and maintenance.Modified Rega arm is likely either way.

Would appreciate anyone's experiences and insights. Thanks. Dan.

get a wall-mount stand for your turntable, if flooring is a problem. re: 'tables, i'd consider a used oracle. i updated my used oracle to mk-v specs, except for the motor-power/supply, which i replaced w/an origin-live motor-p/s. i also installed an o-l modified rega rb250 w/vta. the whole deal was <$2k, & isle even get a few bills back if i sell the perfect-condition grace 727 arm that came w/the 'table... ;~)
