The FR-1080 is the bottom of the line, iirc, I have one and of all the different TT I have had, it is the one that I have kept. I really like it, pretty easy to setup, clean and use.
I doubt if it is worth a ton, but I son't think i'll ever find out. Not sure why that is. I just like it.
Check out the Vinyl Engine website, I got some good info from that place. Good luck.
