All I can tell you is while wondering the same thing it appears that among the mdeols you mentioned it is the Teres that has them,ost raves and trdes in's towards it.I won a $5K VPI rig for certain reason (time and place aI bought while working in a hifi shop,liking tube swap though there are other multi arm sets up yet they cost more to pay for second or third arm I do know that SME makes swapable head shellls.Think Graham might have tube swap).But I think Teres has gotten nod for easy towork on kit models or full builts that offere more on a DOLLAR to DOLLAR comparison.Other factors are going to affect choices like Apples and Oranges.A sprung Linn (I have one in second rig vintage 1983 un-upgraded with a Grace arm) will be the be all to one person but a Rega 9 which is super rigid and has tighjt tollerances will sound TOTALLY different with same cartridge.My own personal take is peoiple put to much stock in the tabel anyway.Your cartridge and phono sectionm will have bigger effect and in most cases an amr will mean more to the sound than the rest of table.Then comes the synergy of it all-that cart with how much flexinility of cap,resistance,gain of phpno pre it one companonent ahrd or one soft.If looking around or allready owning a rig my own vot would be for value or a good deal and if it's used how good a shapeit's in.I have never had a problem with my VPI Aries but my buddy once he had one problem that requires a fix it led to more fixes and hassles forever with his model 19.But if you got a goood tight 19 you can builkd off it and at a lower price and up with someone who just blindly plonks down more money on something that has more prestige and doesenm't have synergy with the res of there rigs.Lastly there are great product that make very little penetration into the USA market like the Blue Note tables from, Italy.
P.S.S get a good tech whop knows what they are doing.Tables are not like the skills meed to say hang and hook up a Plasma TV.You want to know that advice or work is comepetent.
