EMT 950 BBC vs newer designs like VPI ,LP12 etc

I'm considering buying an overhauled EMT 950 BBC with TSD 15. Does anyone has the experience comparing this turntable with newer designs like VPI, LP12 etc? Thanks for sharing your experience!

I believe the idler-drive 927 and 930 are more desirable...
