They are both excellent units. The other poster had a JC3+, not a Junior. The JC3+ should have been even better?
I had an original JC3 years ago and it was the closest I have ever come to my favorite phono stage ever...the Vendetta Research, (same designer, John Curl). I would assume the JC3+ is better, but I couldn't afford it, so I opted for the Junior.
I don't have any LPs that would benefit from the different RIAA curves, so that wasn't an issue.
Once you initially set up the Junior, you won't need to change the settings, so that shouldn't be an issue either.
Again, you couldn't go wrong buying either one...
