Oracle Delphi vs Linn Sondek vs VPI Scout

I am wanting to buy a good turntable. I am considering 2 older tables, the Linn Sondel LP12 and the Oracle Delphi MKI or MKII. As well, I am looking at a newer VPI Scout. All can be had for about the same price. The Oracle and Linn are both between 10 and 20 years old while the Scout is only 1 or 2.

What is the better sounding unit? Which table should I purchase? What should I be concerned about with respect to each of these tables?

I appreciate all opinions.

Cheers,

Michael

I have a VPI MK3 with a Morch UP-4 Arm,and with the money saved bought a Grado Reference The Refererence Phono Cartridge.I'm spinning vinyl like mad and enjoy the sound of the rig.Next year I can buy the Aries 2 platter for the table and get the SDS and eventually the outer ring clamp.
As you can tell with a little research you can get big bangs for your buck.I paid a little high for my table with arm,But at $1,100.00 with the Morch arm included I couldn't pass it up.
