New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option

Hi Folks:
It looks like Teres is now offering a direct drive motor as an option on their regualar tables. As a Teres 255 owner I'm contemplating the upgrade. Has anyone tried the new motor on there existing/old Teres, and does it seem like the upgrade is worth it? Here's a link to the new product:

Cheers,

Well, this is not the end of belt driven turntables, but this is certainly the end of the dogma that belt drive is (far) superior to direct drive. I think the proponents of belt driven turntables will disagree with this: they will miss the sight of the big external motor with the rotating belt (wonderful nostalgia, heheh). The Goldmund Reference I tt was a direct drive design. The same with the Rockport Sirius (if I'm right).
