Smart Matrix lasted 1.5 years before the steel motor shaft "hogged out" the aluminum platter. Then the motor shaft started spinning in the motor, rather than turning the table; it couldn't even pull against it's own vaccum. Nice touch.
I'm going back to VPI, even though it isn't a pretty or nicely finished. Hell, my 16.5 lasted 10 years and still going strong for the guy who bought it from me.
