1210'S...STAAAANDARD.
The reason why Stanton are much better nowadays is because Technics had like a 30 year (sommat rediculous like that, lol) Patent on their design. In the gap between renewing their patent for the design of Technics Turntables, Stanton got in there on the sly and nicked loads of the design specs that makes Technics what they are.
So nah man, Still, Technics ALL THE WAY.
