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,

Just curious. How much force does the o-ring apply laterally against the platter? 1/10 gram? 1 gram? Other?

What keeps the o-ring from moving away from the platter over time? The weight of the motor? Other?

As the o-ring wears due to friction, would the user need to move it closer or otherwise adjust its distance to the platter? Or does it matter so long as the o-ring is in contact with the platter?

Thanks for considering the question. Jeff

Just curious. Isn't the common warp in albums causing more variation in pitch than the differences between direct drive and belt drive?

I have a Cardas sweep record with what appears to be an average warp and the pitch variations are very clear as the stylus travels faster over the warp.

Am I wrong that flattening the record should come before worrying about belt versus direct drive in terms of pitch control and prat?
