I think your premise has the potential for some interesting conversation and debate; but, your written description of the issue is very unclear and there seem to be some contradictions. On the face of it all, and VERY generally speaking, is the old axiom (often applicable to things audio) "less is more". This could be the answer to:
****They are significantly more powerful and torquie So why don't we give them a go?****
Then there is also the truism that "the truth is usually in the middle". IOW, yes, the DJ wants torque and accurate speed control, but don't forget that the DJ's #1 goal is to get people dancing. I think audiophiles would sometimes do well by worrying more about wether the table makes them want to dance and less about the "ethereal"; whatever that is.
