Most of the quirks mentioned aren't really valid reasons to avoid a Nott table. As a former Spacedeck owner, my experience is that the only really problematic issue is the super-fragile nature of the tonearm wire. This is the touchiest wire I've seen, easily damaged. If you buy local, make sure that the dealer mounts your cartridge.
FWIW, the manual start/stop is a benefit, fun and easy to use. The lack of finger lift never bothered me.
Sonically, the Nott tables excel at casting a big soundstage and have good PRAT. If detail is your thing, you can do better elsewhere. Cheers,
Spencer
