New turntable: TW or Obama?

About to take the plunge on a table to replace my venerable SOTA Star/SME V.

Top contenders: TW Acustic Raven LS or a Kuzma Stabi R with wood base.  Arm options are the TW 10.5 on the former, or something else.  Would likely get the Kuzma 4 point for the latter.

Anyone with experience and an opinion on these analog tables?

Cost wise they are similar, both under $20K.

Thanks!

@bobbydd,

I will say what others besides myself may be thinking about your post.   What are you trying to pull with the title?

Guys, my apologies on the title.  A victim of my smart device's auto check.  I proof read my post but forgot to check the title.

But maybe I'm getting more left wing feedback and interest so it's all good ....

Both tables look great ones . I’m partial to the wood. These days I care about looks than I used to.

I’ve heard both Raven & Kuzma.
They are both great- however I prefer the Kuzma by some margin - the 4point11 arm is a superb arm, transparent and very quick.Set up and on the fly VTA on the Kuzma is super easy due to the great design.
I think the Kuzma combo will be a bigger upgrade over the Sota than the Raven - I use to own a Sota Star and know it well.

I'm pretty old, but wasn't it obvious the title was a typo?  Sheesh.
