The Audio Technica has a USB on it. The Orbit does not. That may be driving the price increase, but overall I would be surprised if they are very different at all for a starter setup. I went with the orbit because of its minimalist design, great reviews, and simplicity. It's just a great turntable for playing records. Those AT's are extremely popular, I just prefer the look of the orbit.
