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 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.

No hum in my system, though it's not all completely quiet because of the phono stage.
