Technics 1200 MK2 vs Technics SL-1210GR


Hi everyone,
I’d like to hear opinions from members that upgraded from the original Technics1200 to the new Technics SL-1210GR. Is there a noticeable improvement in performance that justifies the price increase?
thanks,
Dan

The Technics turntables are solid mass market disc spinners. But in that price range nice belt drive tables with good/better tonearms can be had and are better audiophile tables. 
"... This is BS!..."

It’s a solid table like I said. I just prefer belt drives in this price range. Now if you were talking about the Technics SL-1000R: $18,999....wow!
"...Not long ago, I would have shared this sentiment, but now that I’ve experienced the GR,  I can confidently assert that there is no belt-drive table anywhere near the price that performs as well, not in any metric..."

A very convincing argument. Maybe I should re-evaluate. Thanx.
