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.

Just to follow up on the Verus I agree with Wiliamds as I compared it with silk and belt drive on my Micro RX5000 - which has huge rotational inertia with an additional Audiolife platter. The Verus gives more stability and definition compared to the belt drive - another way is to say more dynamics. I was critically expecting to loose some finesse and texture as a trade off, but that was not the case.
