Record Cleaning Machine- Keith Monks or Loricraft?


In researching Loricraft RCMs I have come across Keith Monks RCMs, which have been back in production since 2008. These two brands operate on the same principle, and both appear to be of good quality. Is one better than the other?

There is a local Keith Monks distributor in my city, but not Loricraft (which would have to be ordered from out of country), thus reducing the cost difference between the two brands.

Can anyone comment on the merits of the Keith Monks Omni or Classic vs. Loricraft?

Does the excellent build quality of Keith Monks RCMs apply to the current production models (ie post 2008) as compared to those made while he was still alive (ie before 2005)?

I met Jonathan Monks 2 years ago at a Demo and he showed me the RCM. from my memory I think, yes, same parts inside, the new wood finish is much nicer, specially the red one (but that was a limited model).
