Of the TTs you list, I only have experience with the Nott Horizon, which I bought over 3 years ago, shortly after it first came out. The background is inky black; the depth and breadth of the soundstage are fabulous, and it's low torque motor keeps the heavy platter, which is started by hand with a gentle spin, at virtually perfect 33.3, so it has great PRaT. But you've probably read all that.My personal experience is that the Horizon is able to consistently reproduce music that effortlessly draws the listener in while time and place dissipate from conscious awareness. It has the magic. I haven't tired of it yet and have no upgrade-itis.
I did purchase an SL1210mkII recently, not as a upgrade to the Nott, but b/c I wanted another 'table to play musical carts with, and the 1210 tonearm's detachable headshell makes changing out carts a breeze. It can be magical, too, mind you, and often nose to nose, but it's not the Nott. Fact is, I won't part with either.
Regards,
Jim
