So....I'm still getting the nitty gritty (George)... and I hope its
worth it.

I have the Audio Advisor "Record Doctor" machine. It's about $100 less
than the comparable Nitty Gritty and the results are great.
So what's the difference betweent this and the Nitty Gritty Model 1.0
(which I see around for $265). All I can tell from pictures is the AA
version doesn't have the little cup holders for bottles of cleaning
fluid.

No difference that I know of. The Record Doctor was 205 when I bought
it, as opposed to best deal I could find on the 1.0 being 265. I see
that the Record Doctor has gone up to 229.
Do you use the disc doctor kit with the Nitty Gritty?
No, I've not use the Disc Doctor stuff, though I've certainly heard good
things about it.
If you check disc doc instructions..
http://www.discdoc.com/p14.html
They talk about a couple things...
1) for a good srub they say the record needs to be supported so the
nitty gritty isn't useful as wash platform. I have an old
changer I use but its bulky and ugly and I'd like to toss it.
2) They don't recommend using the same pad for removing cleaner
and rinse fluids. A VPI looks to allow an easy swap from wash
vac to rinse vac while on the nitty this doesn't look so feasible.
So what do you think about this? Do you follow the disc doc
or just apply the nitty gritty brush?
I used the disc dok system to clean these sundazed records I just got.
I thought they were beyond hope appearing filthy...but this time
after scrubbing and removing as much cleaner per Disc docs instruction
I used a sport bottle and a bucket to give 'em a thorough rinse...followed
by the brush rinse..then a bounty towel dry and air dry.
Amazingly..they were pretty quiet...
Can't say Im thrilled at all with Sundazed though...packaging sucked
so I have wrinkled outer sleeves, torn inner sleeves, records were filthy,
and worst of all.... AFAIAC, these mono mixes sound like recordings off
AM radio.
