So I was looking at this Shibata for possible CD-4 playback:

Then I was poking around and I found this:

So how different are they really. If you try to figure this out, its confusing, especially since they don't seem to provide size and shape specs.
Then from posts on other forums, some people say they are the same, some people say they are different, some people say that they are just similar enough that it doesn't matter.
The question is: Will the Shibata show noticeable superiority to the Hyper Elliptical? Will the Hyper Elliptical work well for a CD-4 setup?
