Economical CD Transport - Thoughts?

I have no experience with the Audiolab, but the Cambridge CXC is a solid performer for the money.  I have one - no complaints.  If you play your cards right, you can snag a refurbished unit directly from CA on eBay at a discount (for factory refurbished items).  How's that for economical? ;o)

I  have a CXC  silver front which I purchase a 1 1/2 years ago. I highly recommend the CXC over the Audiolab because I am not a fan of slotlloads. I wish to upgrade to Pro-ject top load which I couldn't afford at the time. I will be selling the CXC. 1 year 4 months left on warranty. Only difference is color of the front panel.

I have a CXC and am happy with it. Why a version 2 is necessary, I don't know.

I have had a few CXC's, using one now,  and always pleased. Cambridge sells factory refurb V2's regularly for $350 with warranty and free returns...the V1 and V2 are functionally identical, just different cosmetics...
