Which Turntable Do I Keep?

[kayc]

I'm trying to decide which one of my two spare turntables to sell and which one to keep. The choice is between a Thorens TD105 mk2 with a AT-VM95ML, and a Thorens TD165 with a Grado Blue3. Both have new belts, both have damped plinths and both sound superb. The question is :- which do I keep and why?

My main turntable and the one I'm definitely keeping is the Sota Moonbeam and Grado Gold2.
