Oracle Paris MK5 VS REGA Rp8?


Hi everyone I am currently trying to make a final decision on a turntable but with the crumbling Canadian dollar doesn’t help. At one dealer I demoed a Rega RP-8 and just loved how upbeat the pace was, and was never fatiging . And made every record show how much more superior and detailed why vinyl is better then cd is. But at my other dealer which is an Oracle dealer, said I could order the new Paris turntable for the same exact amount. I have never heard the Paris, but knowing how well Known oracle is for there turntables. I would be cool to have a legendery Canadian turntable and Canadian speakers since living in Canada. Plus the reviews of the Paris seams its just as good of a turntable. Though has any one heard and experienced the Oracle Paris and how dose it compare. and what are the differences?

I would plan to just get the oracle paris with the recommended arm for it. Since thats what oracle paris was designed with, thinking of it. Also all of the reviews are with it and don't want to spend another $1000 on a SME arm. The Rega RP8 already comes with a nice speed box with it included in the base price. And I demoed the Rega RP8 with a Ortofon 2M Black cartridge which suits me preamp best and sounded killer.
