I've had 2 different sets of 1210's in the past though.The Stanton's are better decks to be honest. The only downside for me is that they don't have a separate earth cable (it's built in or something), and there is a slight "earth" buzz when you listen to the deck with no record at high volumes. Although you can actually wire in a separate earth I've just never got round to it, or finding our how for that matter. Apart from that they can go from +/- 10%, 25% and 50%, they have a reverse faeture, and if you set it to be a line out instead of phono you can then do a key lock where the pitch changes (or tempo, never remember which) but the key stays the same - all the way to +/- 50%, all in real time as you play vinyl. You can also set the stop and start to whatever you want - slow or quick - no idea why you would want a slow start mind (the start on max is actually quicker than the 1210 as it's got more torque).I'd deffo get the straight arm version (the STRT-150 or something) next time though, for better groove hugging.I don't hold with the opinion that you won't be able to play out because you won't be used to Technics either - IMO if you can beat match / scratch on 1210's then you can do the same on ST-150's, and vice versa.</blockquote>
