The numbers of time I have left the arm running at the end of an LP is irritatingly high,  probable several hours of worn stylus wasted in that end channel. This will pay for itself by delaying the need to re-tip.  Always good when the jews to unite to get something a bit cheaper than normal!

Bringing back a blast from the past...

The Mofi StudioDeck is the first all manual table I have owned. I can deal with manual starts, but not returning at the end just wasn't working. I started my search with the Q-up and if it were the only option I would have got one. I didn't care for the springy pop up. That's when I saw the little fwend and then the AT6006R Safety Raiser. Pricey, but the looks and function were spot on. Installation isn't easy if you have big fingers, but doable. The raiser, riser, whatever has to be reset each time or you'll get a "WTF, why is this record skipping" issue. Other than that, it's been perfect...well except that time I let the table run for almost 4 hours because I forgot the power button needs human input. They are pricey at $130, but cheaper than a new stylus.

nice addition to the new table... congrats!
a bunch of nice sounding stuff. Nice that I'm finally able to actually listen to file music for the first time...

I had one back in the day, when they cost $15 new.  More recently, I was lucky to find one attached to a used turntable I bought just to get the Raiser.

Since this thread was revived relatively recently, figure I'd go ahead and mention that, just this morning, I set up the (used) "Little Fwend" I snagged on the Hoffman board last week.  Works like a charm!
