Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G

Yep, came here to post the exact same thing!  Looks like a solid refinement and the price is right.  Can't go wrong IMO.  

I've had a SL-1200 with all the KAB treatments for the past 8 years.  The new technics tables have me thinking... but i'm not so sure it'd be an upgrade from what I have now.  I was originally looking at the 1200G. 

The G series, available since 2016 I think, is better in every way than your SL1200. Technics made a marketing choice to make the G look like the 1200, but under the skin they’re quite different, and the G series are better. Now might be a time to get a good deal on a G, when dealers might be changing over to the G2.

@lewm + 1 I've got a 1200G and love it; I'll be interested to see how this compares....

Probably only an incremental improvement vs G motor controller. Possibly not audible, would be my guesses. 

I see it does not have the magnesium arm of the 1200G and the weight of the turntable is only 28 pounds, far less than the 1200G.  I will stick with my 1200G as i love it.
