I have the PT-2100 and they are great, good torque (2.2kg) and stable platter, seem really hardwearing too. I would also recommend them.
I hear bad things about the XL-500, my advice would be to stay clear of that particular table.

I would have to say save up and go for the PT2100s cos they are loads better, I have the XL500s and at first they were good, but not long after they couldn't hold pitch, but now I have Techs , but if I didn't have Techs I would go for the PT2100 for the price they are good, my friend has them and I like them, you can't really go wrong with them, there prolly the best thing Gemini has made.

they dont actually make the PT-2100 anymore, so i think you'd have to pick it up second hand, but you maybe lucky, I have seen some stores on the internet who still stock them.

Probably not.....but if you call a local distributor you can probably get a cheaper price than list. Hell...BestBuy.com sells the TTD-2400 for 150 a piece I think, and that is not much above what I would get them for if I did order some. Shipping it from me to you would cost you more than you would save anyway.
Sorry,
MrS
