Looking for thoughts from Nottingham Analog table owners


Really like the looks and the build quality of the Nottingham tables, and it does not hurt that I am originally from Nottingham, England to start with...lol
But I have read a few reviews that claim they are pretty tricky to set up and some suffer 60hz hum fairly easily?
Would like to hear from actual owners, your arms, carts etc
Would be upgrading from a Funk Firm Vector with Grado Gold which is deathly quiet as far as hum and in its own right is very musical in my rig.
Thank you

I have to say my brief ownership so far leaves me with a very warm fuzzy glow!
The level of detail and soul extracted by this simple Spacearm and shelter cart is a huge leap ahead from my previous clearaudio tt.
Years of enjoyment to follow.
I would say my setup appears to be very neutral with solid organic bass and female vocals excell. Start of a long live affair hopefully!
The 2nd point I meant to make was that the Kiseki took at least 40 - 50 hours to shake the bulk of the zip out of it (my experience) - way too hot for my tastes to begin with; that's somewhere between 60 and 70 albums, then it begins to settle in.  Both Upscale and Hollywood tell me that at 100 hours I can consider it 'broken in'.  I also have a Walker Audio motor controller that the Nott motor is plugged into.  I believe the motor controller helps with the overall analog presentation as well. 
Thanks for the info especially the comparisons between the kiseki and the ortofon. Though I was more inclined to get a blue NS due to price, the ortofon's less finicky nature seems better to me and every review makes it sound like just my kind of cart. I'm also interested in charisma carts and the audio Technica art9 and the clearaudio Charisma v2 MM if anyone has any thoughts on those. 
Nottingham is by no means a dark sounding table, but it is on a warmer side of neutral. My Goldring 1042 fully opened up after 100 hours, I think it was 110 or 120.
I am not surprised with the official Nottingham recommendation of Nagaoka. Nagaoka 500 is probably more refined than Goldring 1042, should be excellent choice.
Yes, Larry of Hollywood Sound really likes Spacedeck and he's been dealing with Nottinghams forever.
I heard an mp500 in my Clearaudio concept TT a couple of years ago, I remember it being a fun cart.
