Technics SL-1200MK2 or MK5


I'm trying to figure out if there is any reason I should purchase a MK5 over a MK2.

My concern is that the MK2 doesn't have the button to lock the pitch at dead zero.

Is this a valid concern?

Thanks,
Mark

For some listeners/musicians the pitch device helps out quite a bit if you like to learn riffs. Otherwise it is a giant PIA to change the tuning of your instrument for each album or song. So many songs are recorded a smidgeon off pitch for one reason or another. Even on the same LP.
Enjoy,
