This has been covered before. @Teajay and I both came to the same conclusion about the two transports.
People who make comments who don't know anything should keep their comments to them selves. And yes the Pro-Ject does make that big of a difference. So your cheap transport will not and does not compete at all.
If you re thinking the MKIII may be better - it would have to make a significant improvement to make that leap IMO.
Like already stated, get a linear power supply for the Pro-Ject and be done with all of this. BTW I currently own the Audiomeca Mephisto II transport, Metronome T1A & AL2 CD Transport & Power Supply and a CEC transport. The Pro-Ject is better than all three.
Happy Listening.
