i am not a big rega trumpeter, as many on the site are, but i would take the rega over the dual since replacement parts and other mods made for the table, should you want to go that route, are abundant. plus... i don't know what arm was on the dual, but i have never read about great dual arms and often read about mediocre ones. i also hear good things about the older series of cheap projects... debut i and ii. i run a linn axis and nottingham interspace... i thought the linn axis, with the akito 2 arm, was better for my ears than the p3. so if you can find one with that arm for a decent price... i'd say thats a good option.
