The 401 in a Collinson plinth is decent for the money it is not likely you will find anything thats as well finished and hes a true gentleman to deal with I had one and was very pleased at the time, I actually preffer sonically the bastin plinth but does look rather heath robinson by comparison and takes for ages to get one I like the idea of separating the motor etc. If you want a overall good value package you can go wrong. I personally would prefer a Rock Reference to a 401 but maybe thats just me I like what they do but why should we all like the same thing life would be very boring if we did. It has to be said that a 401 collinson plinth is a lovely thing indeed and way better than most things out there I am sure you will get lots of enjoyment out of it. If I had more money to spend or waste there are other plinths but hay who cares.
