Sonic differences between Nottingham & VPI's TT's


Can anyone discribe the sonic differences between a Nottingham Space Deck and a VPI Scoutmaster. They are about the same price. Which table is warmer and which table gives you more detail? Which one paints the bigger picture?

I recently auditioned the Ace Space 294 vs the comparable priced VPI.
To my ears the Nottingham got more into the music (and was warmer). The VPI was more dynamic (out side the music).

Because most of my 5-6 hundred records are jazz (Blue Note, Impulse, etc) the Nottingham suited my taste better & that's the one I bought. If I were listening to rock/pop etc I might have gone the other way.
