Oracle. That's just so searchers can find the thread....someday.

The few, the proud, the Alexandria lovers.
I'd like to know if anyone has heard the MK II and the MK III and if there is much difference.
I have a MK II (Jacques Reindeau of Oracle informed me that the MK I never really existed, so you've all been promoted to MK II) with a Sumiko Premier MMT arm. It's the star of my humble system. I alternate between a Shure V15 RS SAS and a Denon DL-301 II. Delicious!
Nevertheless, I saw listing for a MK III for a little over $1,000 + S&H and got upgradeitis. Then there was a Paris for a little less. I was posting all over looking for advice from more experienced Oracleistas; but not a peep. I queried Oracle, first about sub-chassis in general and Martin replied that they were the same cast aluminum for both the MK II and MK III. Then I asked about MK III vs. Paris and he replied 'MK III no contest'. I made an offer of $1,000 even including shipping.
This Alex has a Sumiko Premier MMT, just like mine but with a Cardas wiring upgrade, and a Dynavector 10x3 and an . It comes with the suspension calibration jig and all the other goodies. So basically I am wondering If I made a good deal and if (not including the Dyno) I will hear much of a difference.
Eric? Ferrari?
