Certainly after using both the B77 and 32, I'd go for the 32 any day, and I love my BR-20.

Of course I'm "only" 47 though, so was not around in the early days of the A77 and not in the market for any of these until I could pick them up used. Dad had a Ferrograph 2A and Akai 4000DB. Now I have a GX265, 32 (with sticky pinch roller, really must get around to sending it to Terry's Rubber Rollers) and BR-20.

(oh and a Rola 77 and pile of Ferrographs in the corner of the workshop)
