    Another point is that the one on the top is a premium model, whereas the one on the bottom is meant for us plebeian masses.

      the one on the top is the cheapest, worst turntable you can possibly buy. they’re so cheaply made they don’t even play records reliably

        As compared to the one on the bottom, that might look like a junk plastic box from outside, but will most probably do what it does after swapping a few capacitors.

        And still, said cheapest model is not significantly cheaper than the thing on the bottom.

        So yes, I’m going with premium.

        But of course, considering that you are the second person to refute my claim, I feel the need to state that I am going by the meaning of the marketing word, “premium” and not the original meaning.

        Premium ⇒ functionally worth less than what you are paying for, in turn for form.
        Yes.
