Who has the Technics SL-1500c turntable?

I will use mostly for casual listening of various LP's/45's/78's I took over from my dad. I'm not going to spend a ton. I want a built in preamp (I do not want other boxes). I'll purchase a separate headshell/cartridge for 78's. I will probably update the stylus from red to blue and use the red for records in poor shape. 

My other choices were the cheaper mass produced AT/Denon/Reloop/Ion turntables. 

Looks like the Technics checks all the boxes.

Opinions?
