I inherited a great record collection from my uncle and I am looking to get my first record player. I have narrowed it down to these 2 models from Audio Technica. I am sure I would be happy with either one but would be interested in the communities experience. Is the AT-LPW40WN going to provide a real noticeable upgrade? Will I end up just wanting to upgrade the AT-LP70XBT-BZ?

Thanks!
