Ok, seeing those two arguing, it looks like the Stantons are more versatile than the technics. Sure, it has a lot of gizmos that can break sooner or later, but dont you take the same chance when buying a car? I mean, sure, the GPS computer installed in your Acura could break and you prolly wont use it a lot. But isnt it cool even though youre paying a lil extra?
Well going back to TTs, i see it as getting more with Str8 100 and theyre $100 cheaper. Thats almost getting something for nothing. Im not too sure how reliable Stanton's are however. Im still trying to figure that out.

The STR8-100's have slower start up torque than 1200's (of cours!) even though they claim 2.2kg/f compared to 1.6kg/f of the 1200's (This is correct, right?)

My friend has Str8 100's and the torque is indeed higher, and not just some false spec advertising.

I have tried both STR8-100 and my 1200 Mk3's beside each other. The start up torque isn't as quick the 1200's.. thats why the Technics are $200 more
