Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above


Two different animals, I know. I’ve read some pretty decent reviews on the Sota’s with the vacuum option and intrigued. We’re always looking for that little extra something, something. I’m interested in retrieving a bit more detail and upping the sound stage. 
Maybe this would be a lateral move? Maybe I should change my cart? Something else? Be happy and spin vinyl? Thanks for your feedback.

I also have the Feickert alignment tool and initially used Baerwald with my 1200G and Hana SL. Then I switched to Stevenson and really couldn't hear any difference. I left it at Stevenson because it seemed easier to set up. I also run a Shure V15 V-MR with Stevenson.
