I went from a VPI Prime to the SL1200G and I couldn't be happier. The Technics is a more set and forget type of table where my Prime needed constant fiddling. I also find the bass to be much better with the Technics. Let me put it this way, I bought the Prime and played a dozen or so records in the 1 1/2 years I owned it. I bought the Technics and play records a couple of times a week since I bought it in August 2018.
Only you can decide if it is a good move or not but for me, it was a no brainer. The only tweaks I made to the Technics was replace the rubber mat with the Oracle hard mat and HRS record weight.
