Default Modern or new-vintage turntable?

Hello all,

I plan to purchase a new turntable to do mostly 'needle-drops' with
and for normal listening, and I need some advice on what 'table to
buy.

I have narrowed it down to a few selections. First, I had in mind the
Music Hall MMF-2.1. This is a modern turntable and goes for around
$350.00 new. Personally, I've never heard of the company, but many
claim it's a good 'table. Now, I also have the opportunity to
purchase some brand new and unused vintage Pioneer turntables circa
1980. I believe they are all PL-XX series models. It's a tough
decision. I don't know much about turntables myself, but I do want
something that's going to sound good and last me more than a year.
Would you go with a vintage or a modern turntable?

All suggestions greatly appreciated!
