I'd get the 1200M3Ds if I was picking up a pair of Technics. You can find them for $400 or below. The MK5s are $500 (maybe a little less) and not worth that price over the M3Ds.

Check out my latest mix (5/19/2004) here.

the MK5s are more expensive than the M3Ds or MK2s, but the M5Gs are the most expensive. If you have the cash, treat yourself to the latest and greatest. If you wanna keep under a price range, get the M3Ds or the MK5s. MK2s are great too, but my go with older stuff when better models are out?
(I decided to save up for an extra 4 months and got the 1210M5Gs

youll be fine with mk2s... if you had to save money for a while it sounds like you dont have much to blow. mk2s will certainly get the job done + they are fairly cheap.

which ever ones you can get the cheapest. i just got some mk2s and they are the bomb. i havent tried the other ones but for the extra cash that they cost you dont really get too much in return (seems to me). if you can get m3ds cheap go for them, you cant really go wrong with any of them

I just ordered the MK5 1210.
If you don't have that much money just buy the MD3.
They are simular to the MK5.
MK5 are little bit better.
Good luck!
