Which turntable? Pro-Ject or VPI?

Which would you choose in equal condition?

Pro-Ject "The Classic" (original version) with carbon fiber arm

OR

VPI HW19 Junior with RB300 arm

Thanks for your advice.

It’s a bit cheeky to suggest a $3000 (used) table - can probably subtract out some for the included cart, but still... I think the HW-19 Jr. w/ Rega arm is a GREAT platform for that budget, if in good running condition. The HW-19 can look rather sharp in all black, too. My dealer had an original Project Classic, some years ago - I immediately disliked its build quality and "feel". Anything from VPI is better IMO.
