Who's hip to the Nottingham line of Turntables???

From other post I was asking what $3K list/2K used deck and arm to get.A few folks mentioned Nottingham.Other than hideous paint job deck looks substantive with high mass platter and rugged looking plinth etc.Ability to mount two arms a definite plus.But not sure if Spacedeck and Spacearm are way to go.Anybody else out there have experice with this combo?maybe it system balance and not looks.But going form Aries (I am scalling back size/price) to a Rega25,Basis 1400,Clearaudio Champion or Solution well they all just look
less substantial.But maybe they sound better.
Thanks for input

I had a VPI and a SOTA before I got the Notts Spacedeck/spacearm combo. Whilest the VPI was better than the SOTA to my ears in playing tunes the Spacedeck is more faithful still. It just has an undefinable hold on the music in a way that makes all tables even remotely close in price pale by comparison. I did have a chance to listen to a REGA 25 for a few weeks and found it to be cut from the same cloth though not quite as organic sounding. the rega pays dividens when set on a good isolation platform or wall shelf. Both have excellent speed stability.
