Pros and Cons of the Music Hall MMF-7

I am considering a new turntable purchase. The Pro-ject Xperence w/sumiko Pearl MM or the Music Hall MMF-7 w/Eroica MC? I know, you guys and gals prefer VPI, Basis, Linn, etc. but both models are available to me new in the $800 price range. I would appreciate any input in this discussion as I am ready to take the plunge into a higher end.

Thanks for your input. I have found a VPI HW19jr at half the price I was willing to spend on either table and decided to go with it. First thing I am going to do is upgrade the feet. Should be a lot of fun.

Dreadhead, I use to own a VPI jr and something that works good is to apply some lead wieght around the inside of the base, not the plinth. I used lead wieghts that the tire places use to balance your tires, they are flat pieces of lead with a sticky on one side and work great. I also tried brass cones but the improvement was minor compared to the lead. Another thing to do is remove the dust cover when listening. If you choose to try the lead get at least 5-6 lbs. When I did the lead tweak I got much better seperation between the instruments, more air and a more solid bottom end. Have fun with the new TT.

Jsawhitlock, where exactly did you put these weights? Do I have to disassemble the deck to do this? Thanks for the input.
