If I'm thinking of the right machine, your Grundig was of a similar vintage and aimed at a similar market to the Philips N4515 which I have. While the sound at low speed is amazingly good, the Philips machine feels flimsy and nothing like as well built as a Revox. The Revox also has a certain solidity to the sound that is missing from the Philips - although that could partly be down to my Revox being 2 track while the Philips is 4 track.
I've not encountered a domestic reel to reel that handles tape as well as either a Revox A77 or B77.
