Or should I get something else?

i have the third one, and its amazing. USB feature aside, its just a really great turntable.

plus the other two are automatic, and automatic turntables are fucking terrible.

I actually can't say enough good things about that Ion turntable. It just kicks ass.

I recently got the third one and returned it. It was extremely cheaply made and the no dust cover was killing me even on the first day.

What's wrong with automatic turntables?

What's wrong with automatic turntables?
They break really quickly.

this one appears to have a dust cover

Simple solution to lack of dust cover:

Put your records back when you're done.

I already told you, the entire thing was black and had to be cleaned, not the records haha. And then the needle just stopped working all of a sudden.

The thing is I don't really think I'll need a USB

I never use the USB. Its just a great regular turntable.
