hey guys ... umm .. i have been playing on my frens deck for a while now .. and rite now .. i feel its time i got my own deck.. hahahah but i can't decide between the SL1210 MK5 or SL1210 M5G.. i can afford both but i have no idea which one to get.. any ideas guys?

K because it is higher on the alphabit than G

Depends on if you think you're going to use the extra pitch. Do you like to mix slow records with fast ones a lot(or vice versa)? If that's the way you play, you might want to spend the extra money. Otherwise, it probably isn't worth it if you usually stick within the +-8% range.

i thought the m5g's wiring inside of the tonearm was higher quality. but maybe that's just a rumor?

lol are you serious?? anyways, i have two of the m5g's the way i look at it, its always better to have the extra pitch. if you have the funds for both go with the m5g

i don't think it's a rumor.

one of the selling points of the m5g is the "upgraded" tonearm cable, and interconnects. the interconnects actually have the words "technics hi-fidelity audio cord" printed on them.
-i have not done a side by side comparison, so i can't tell you how much better it is than the regular techs.

also the m5g has a screw at the base of the tonearm, that you can tighten when you are going to do some serious scratching to help needle keep it's grip on the record.

the +/-16 feature helps me a bit too.

The m5g have a digital computerized pitch.

This is good because the pitch is more stable (no variation)
but bad because it's less acurate (it works in incriments).

I already went for the mk5 when I read that.
I am happy with them.

how bout getting one of each ??!? lolz .. i m not sure if that would work out or not ??

If you can afford them, get the M5G's. Hands down.
They are the superior turntable and the flagship in the Technics SL range.
