According to Brotha Boogie, the original SL1200's have the quickest pick up, quicker than the 1210's. However 1210's sacrifice a little bit of this pick up for stability. Brian Dresner reports that the start/stop speed difference of a 1210 is about .1 of a second than a 1200. A turntablist named Chris, from Sydney Austrailia wrote saying, "The only difference between the 1200 and 1210's is the power source within the turntable that compensates for the 0.1 second difference. The 1200 is the only turntable officaially realeased by Technics in the USA, the 1210 is not officially made for the US, and you will notice that under the plater it has a switch for 110/220v while the US version does not have this. The 1200 versions for the rest of the world have the switch under the plater. So if you compare a US 1200 with a Japanese version 1200 the difference will be 0.1 of a second, because of the internal power transformer. "</blockquote>
