I wouldn't buy a belt drive unit cheaper than the 1200. If you go mroe expensive, however, belt drive is a fine way to go.
If you to set the thing up yourself for optimum playback, you're going to tear your hair out. Azimuth, overhang, tracking force, VTA, etc. are all factors influencing the placement of the cartridge and the downward force of the arm. My best advice is to find a good DJ shop, buy a used table from them, have them set it up properly, and then treat them well. They will be your mentors.
