Technics SL-1401 vs SL-1700

Hi! Both of these TT's are available near me at +/- $250 and I'm trying to decide between them. Haven't seen them in person but AFAIK both are in working condition. The 1700 has a new Gemini HDCN-15 (which, as I understand it, is an AT3600L). Waiting for info on the cart/stylus for the 1401. Doesn't matter too too much as I suspect I'll upgrade the cart unless I'm pleasantly surprised by the Gemini.

Any thoughts on these? Things to watch out for?

Thx!!!
