Thanks ethos123.
I'm leaning back towards the Brio. Found a local source at a decent price, so I can easily get support if needed. I really like the look of the Creek but the used one I was looking at is in Canada, not the US and I have learned that they are made in China. I would really like to buy a designed in the UK, built in the UK unit, which leaves Rega in my price range. There's no particularly good reason for this desire but oh well...
