Need recommendation for CD transport (not Cambridge)

I’m trying out the Cambridge CXC transport, and so far, have not been happy with it.
It mistracks (skips) at the end of CDs (which I assume is just my unit, maybe it’s not a design flaw).
But, also, it’s not programmable and it interacts noisily with my Gungnir Multibit (Yes, I understand the Gungy is noisy by itself, but the pause control on the Cambridge exacerbates the problem.)
So, I’ll probably return the Cambridge if I can find another one, not too expensive with better features.
Any recommendations?

Here is an Esoteric DV-50S that is worth consideration for $1,500: http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649396527-esoteric-dv50s-with-david-schulte-ugrade-performed-in-2...

This unit has been professionally upgraded by the Upgrade Company (David Schulte).

twoleftears, what was the reason Audio Advisor gave for not getting the Pro Ject?

I have a Musical Fidelity M1 CDT transport, and I thought about getting the Pro Ject.

The Musical Fidelity is a very good transport by the way.

Bel Canto makes a transport. $1500 retail I believe. I have not heard it, however.

@lordcloud The "advisor" wasn't specific, but you could tell he wasn't too enthusiastic about it.  I might have considered the Cyrus, but I'm irrationally prejudiced against slot-loading machines.  I don't remember if I considered the Bel Canto.
