I went with a Fluance over the Teac. However I’m not getting very good customer service after it showed up damage. Hope I don’t regret it.

That is correct. Three speeds and slightly better cartridge are the only differences.

I don't know how anyone lives with a non automatic turntable. I read the manual, this thing keeps spinning in perpetuity when it gets to the end of a record. At least from what I can tell.
