I think a dust cover is insignificant for a turntable. the ones that are hinged actually add vibrations into the table and really should be removed when listening. so I would not base your table decisions on a dust cover as most high end ones don't have them anyway. The project tables along with Rega and some others are good quality tables for starting out. you may also want to consider a used vintage table as your first table. A good vibration free place to put your table and proper record care products are more important then a dust cover.
