I would take a EMT 927 over the Saskia any day. (...)
The EMT 927 is the kind of product that can be an exception to our prudence rules in audio. It is exceptionally well designed, and every aspect of it is logical and well understood - it is extensively documented in the net, I have spent some late night time just researching it for the fun of knowing about it. And knowing that after 50 years it is still being supported and used by many users gives us confidence.
The only think that prevented me from getting one is the current price - I could have got a mint one at less than half what is being asked now a three years ago, I do not feel comfortable paying such high price nowadays!
BTW, if it was not for distance and logistics, this turntable would probably be sitting in my system:
