new Electrocompaniet vs older LINN Karik/Nemeric?

Considering both of these (used) as an upgrade for my Meridian 506.20. Any comments would be most appreciated.

thanks

Just my .02....

When i bought the 506 i also auditioned (just for the fun of it as there was no way i could afford it) the Linn and was absolutely floored. Since then, though, i haven't really compared it with some of the machines that have come out since then hence my question asking for comments comparing the Linn with the Electrocompaniet.
