Linn Karik/Numeric vs Genki

They are about the same price used, any one have any thoughts on which one to pick? I currently have an Activ setup with 2 LK85s driving Ninkas.

However it is not as bullet proof as most other LINN CD players. This CD player is the most fragile made by LINN. I decided on a Genki as it's been great. Dan dedicated audio

As for the Genki, it's a nice unit, but the transport seems a little cheap to me, I personally would go with the Ikemi,it sounds much more open. More importantly, it sounds great in my Activ setup (3x AV5105's on AV 5140's)...
