I'm not sure purchasing one of the two tables you mentioned would be a upgrade from your current turntable/tonearm set up. If I were your shoes, I would keep SME V arm and look for a table that mates well with SME V(one you own).
How are you using the Silicon dampening of the Townsend table with SME V arm?(or not using it at all?) Have you disabled/not using Townsend dampening mechanism?
