well I will buck the trend on this thread.
a year or so I was sort of in your dillema. I had an LP12/Ekos/lingo and loved what it did well and hated what it didnt do so well. I found myself only listening to what "sounded" good on it, but put anything remotly complex and it just gets itself in a mess. I demoed many modern decks and ALL of them sorted this problem out but brought a few of there own. In the end I went VPI SSM (not a natural choice in the UK) but I felt it gave the best comprimise between what the LP12 did well (groove and musicaility) with the ability to handle anything you throw at it.
Dont get me wrong the LP12 can play out of its skin but unfortunatly on only a few types of music.
