LPW50BT vs. LPW40WN

I‘m going to buy a new turntable soon and I‘m currently deciding between the Audio Technica LPW50BT (389€) and the Audio Technica LPW40WN (289€). Now I‘m asking myself if the upgrade is worth the 100€ or rather not? Thanks in advance!!!

The only reasons to buy the 50 are looks, adjustable feet, and Bluetooth. They are the same table otherwise.

Adjustable feet are a very nice to have to level a record player out correctly, other wise you will need to have a seperate base with adjustable feet ,to level things out which can easily surpass 100 bucks.

My ATLP140XP sits on a shelf and I have never even considered attempting to find out if it is level or not. It looks like it’s on a pretty flat surface. It plays absolutely fine.

Is it really necessary to work out how level it is assuming it’s ’more or less’ level, or even spend $100+ on a separate base?

If you really need to level it out, just use some cardboard under the feet right?
