I had one for a year but it came with a lingo. I couldn’t figure out how it did 45 without.
You are absolutely correct about the footfall but this would be in my room so controllable 
I too sold mine to buy my first Naim streamer.
Then along came roon.
I would like to have a decent deck though and experience the album cover being the play screen.
Thank you for the warning about the changing cam. I think I may well just get a Rega deck as they are plentiful in the UK.
