funk firm t'tables?

Anyone know about funk firm tables? They're a newer lineup from the people at pink triangle. Sepcifically anyone know about the funk table? here's a few basic specs for 860 w/out arm.
The Funk is equipped with:
# Achroplat (pat pend): Improving on acrylic, it is the perfect Achromatic (non-resonant) support.
# Inverted Sapphire Bearing. Very hard, very highly polished. Seen in the highest performance decks.
# DC Motor drive. Low vibration and optimally matched to the platter?s inertia for consistent drive.
# Sorbothane connected feet to isolate critical midband energy from the outside world.
Also, I know people love this: what would you put as the best table in this price range?

Bear in mind that the current version of the Rega P3, the P3-24, is different, and more expensive, than the one reviewed in the above linked article.

Good point. And anyway, it's hard to nail down just where the Funk firm competes, because--with a stock OL-1 or RB250 it'd be around $1150, but with a JMW-9 it would be $1800, with an Origin Live Silver, $1950, and with JMW9-signature, around $2100.

Is anyone aware of who is importing these?Any comparison to the Clearaudio Satisfy/Emotion series.Would you use the RB-300 Incognito or a Graham Robin,etc?? Would the arm choice dictate use or exclusion of any good MCs?
