Turntable selection advise

I have to admit that I am no audiophile nor do I have the funds to purchase some of the extravagant systems out there, I'm just a simple guy looking for simple advise. So far, I have looked into 3 turntables and I am wondering if some of you could assist me with my selection process. I just want to play vinyl that's all, hmmm audio nirvana ~!

So far I have looked into various TT and my selection is as follows.

1) Technics SL1200MK2
2) Technics 1210M5
3) Audio Technica AT-PL120

I like the fact that the Audio Technica has a built in phono pre amp and it plays at 3 different LP's speed rates (33, 45 and 78)

Could someone please advise the pro's and con's of my above selection?

I recently purchased an SL1200MK2 from KABUSA with the Cardas rewire and the Fluid Damper. I have been very happy with this table. So easy to use and sounds wonderful (yes I did audition several other tables from other manufacturers. In the end I chose the KAB technics).

Anyway, as someone mentioned earlier, KAB does offer a mod for 78's. If you are serious about collecting/playing 78's I would recommend you call Kevin and discuss which table and what mods would be best for you.
