How does the Technics SL 1200 compare with....

other belt drive tables with comparable price tags? Specifically, the Music Hall
MMF 5, and the Rega p3. For arguements sake, lets say these items are all going to be placed on a three inch thick block of oak with vibrapods, and also have comparable cartridges and preamps. I really want to make a foray into vinyl, but for the life of me I just can't decide on a player. Any help would be much appreciated.

I will go with the Rega any time over the Technics. The Technics is no way an audiophile TT if you are the discerning kind.

Even before I started on vinyls a year ago, I have auditioned the Technics on 2 occasions - sounds good but something was just missing - the "connection".

Things changed when I heard the P3... and it is belt driven TTs from then on for me....

But of course, the Technics is basic enough for the general masses.
