I find the STR8 Stanton deck to be a Technics beater hands down and it has a straight tone arm but this is not how I came to make this decision, I came to it because the deck is just so much better.

i find i like the S when playing real vinyls for ripping or personal play and straights for TCV use since those can be replaced.

yeah ive got some Numark TT500 with both and it stays in the groves better when the straight is in BUT it wares the vinyl and needel down quicker all depends on your style if your a scratcher then go for straight but if mixings your thing more then the S is for you! hope it helps.

i had bot types.
first technics 1210 with s-arm than the vestax pdx 2000 with a straight arm and now i went back to technics 1200.
i decided to go back to a s-arm because with the straight arm is much more wear on real vinyl. some of my really rare 12" where weared out and are "lost" forever. really sad...
a s-arm with a good system (i use the ortofon qBert concorde) will be good as a straight arm. and for "ripping" vinyl forget a straight arm, sounds horrible.
if you use tcv only i also would prefer a s-arm because you can use the relative mode or set a antiskip mode in almost every dvs software.
in my opinion the only reason for a straight arm turntable is a massive turntableism-only performance on real vinyl (and here a s-arm will also do the work, see the "pro"-turntablerockers in the dmc-championships).
