Teres 260 or Galibier Serac?

I am finally in the market for my next table after 12 years and modding the heck out of an lp12 I am ready. I have also owned during this period a vpi scout, sota and a cj walker. I did not like the scout as I thought it was dark and mushy but the others were ok, Both Thom and Chris' designs appeal to me and appear to be great values. For the time being I am going to stick with the origin live encounter I own and will mount a ZYX yatra on the arm.
Any thoughts as to which table may be better? I am not looking for the table to add or subtract from the music, although I know they all do to a greater or lesser degree. I listen to classic jazz and rock for the most part.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

As for the sound of these two. I would think the Serac is just a bit more neutral. Especially if a Gavia platter is used. Hard to say really.

I'll stick with the tried and true, simple, and extensively field tested tape drive. God forbid any ever happen to Thom Makris or Chris Brady, but I know I can source what I need should I ever have problems with the motor Thom supplies. Keep it simple works best for me. I think it costs about $35 for the supplies to make tape belts for a life time.
