YP450 is fully manual. Yamaha's answer to the classic Pioneer PL-12D. The price you mentioned is ridiculously high.

YPB2 is has auto return, and somewhat better specs...but is lighter, with a shorter tonearm.

You can find brochures and manuals at vinylengine.com; use them to compare the two tables.
 
The YP-450 looks to be a belt-drive version of the YP-511 direct-drive that I have. The latter is a very nice machine to use and in terms of performance. But I would expect the YP-511 to fetch that sort of price (certainly here in the UK) with the belt-drive going for somewhat less. It would be a lovely vintage starter turntable at the right price.
