Nottingham Interspace vs Pear Audio vs Analogue Works


I am looking at some entry level turntables from the three manufacturers mentioned above.  Being small companies I have not been able to find many reviews ( and for that matter dealers).  The Nottingham seems to be better priced than the AW One and the Pear Audio Captain John Handy; and comes with a 10 inch arm. The question is, am I losing much sonic performance with the savings?
Thanks

I understand, you have to choose without auditioning.
I've been playing original Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm for years and intend on keeping it that way. Yes, Nottingham is a very well established company and a very popular brand in some circles, even more so in Europe. Newest Interspace deck/arm should be close enough to the original Spacedeck, though I have not heard it.
Personally, I might choose top of the line Pear Audio over Nottingham Dais but I would almost certainly choose the Interspace over entry level of anything !
I was lucky enough to find a used Nottingham Analogue Interspace complete with RB300 tonearm on eBay 2 years ago. I still can’t believe the guy only wanted £400!
Other system components cost much much more, but no intention to ever change this TT - sounds awesome.
If you get the Nottingham make sure to replace the stock felt mat. I and many others use Boston Audio Mat-1 graphite mat.
