Which one is better ? Well... as usual.. it depends...

I have got a preference myself, but I'm not gonna say it for now. I don't want anyone to think that I favoured one console over the other, cause that would completely wrong, I did my best to be as objective as possible.

Now it's your turn again people... let me know what you think

Aside from the sound (the results are out and comparisons can still be made);

Which of the two desks has a better build quality, like pots, faders, jacks, chassis, and overall finish?

My understanding so far is that the Toft is made in China, whilst the Trident is made in England. But which has the better build, and would give the user full confidence in using the desk for long sessions, etc?
