OK, so I'm looking into getting a turntable. I will just use it for sampling, no mixing or scratching. Should I get the Technics SL1210 just to make sure that I'd get a quality turntable, or should I get a cheaper Gemini one here:

I've heard people on other forums saying that it's not the turntable, it's the quality of the cartridge and stylus that counts. Therefore, am I correct in saying that just for recording and playback purposes, there would be no difference in having the Gemini or the Technics. Obviously, the Technics is better, but would it make a difference to me? Also, does the Technics SL1210 come with a sufficient cartridge and stylus, or would I have to buy one seperate?
Thanks
