funk firm t'tables?

Anyone know about funk firm tables? They're a newer lineup from the people at pink triangle. Sepcifically anyone know about the funk table? here's a few basic specs for 860 w/out arm.
The Funk is equipped with:
# Achroplat (pat pend): Improving on acrylic, it is the perfect Achromatic (non-resonant) support.
# Inverted Sapphire Bearing. Very hard, very highly polished. Seen in the highest performance decks.
# DC Motor drive. Low vibration and optimally matched to the platter?s inertia for consistent drive.
# Sorbothane connected feet to isolate critical midband energy from the outside world.
Also, I know people love this: what would you put as the best table in this price range?

Bear in mind that the current version of the Rega P3, the P3-24, is different, and more expensive, than the one reviewed in the above linked article.

Good point. And anyway, it's hard to nail down just where the Funk firm competes, because--with a stock OL-1 or RB250 it'd be around $1150, but with a JMW-9 it would be $1800, with an Origin Live Silver, $1950, and with JMW9-signature, around $2100.

Is anyone aware of who is importing these?Any comparison to the Clearaudio Satisfy/Emotion series.Would you use the RB-300 Incognito or a Graham Robin,etc?? Would the arm choice dictate use or exclusion of any good MCs?

They're distributed by Two Channel Distribution aka Acoustic Sounds.

Someone just drew my attention to the fine print that in the above cited review the Funk was demoed with a several thousand dollar VdH Condor cartridge whereas the others were demoed with the stock cheapies. Mind blowing negligence!
