I have owned both. Obviously the Linn has been through many updates and I'm not sure of the specifics of the TT you are looking at. I am not critical of the Linn and appreciate what they did to create "turntable consciousness" but am not its biggest fan. I always experienced the linn as a little lacking in dynamics, deep bass and mildly thin sounding. However, this was not one of their completely updated versions.
I personally enjoy the WTT more than the Linn. Once the arm is properly setup, I find it to have a wonderful rich and musical quality. I agree with the critics who report a somewhat muted extreme high frequency quality, but overall find it to be enjoyable. I'm sure part of what I and others find relaxing and stable about the WTT is related to its spindle bearing. It is hard to talk about the WTT without thinking of it as a package, while I'm not sure what arm you are planning to use on the linn. Just my 2 cents.
