Oracle SME 345 versus SME 309


Interesting - you can get the new SME 309 for the same price as more than 17 years old Oracle SME 345!
Just curious what it should tell me - the Oracle one is head above?

the 345 is a 309 with IV bearings and V wiring. It may also have a magnesium arm instead of aluminum, depending on how new it is. My 345 is magnesium, my 309 is aluminum. Can honestly say I hear a diffence.
