Problems with two or three motors are: (1) They have to be perfectly in synch with one another, and (2) you now have two (or three) potential sources of noise that could be transmitted via the belt to the platter. No free lunch. I also think that we anal audiophiles worry perhaps too much about issues that are in reality way below background, if the product is well made and engineered. So 2 or 3 or 4 motors (how about that?) might be fine.
