The 1200 is the first turntable I've owned that allows switching of headshells, and it's pretty cool to be able to do that quickly. I don't see myself switching them up with every record though, LOL. Right now I have 4 cartridges that I can switch in and out. I haven't tried my Shure V15 Type IV with Jico SAS stylus yet. I do have a couple more cartridges sitting around that I'd like to try. More headshells may be acquired soon! I bought a small case that will hold 5, so I can have one on the table and 5 others available.
