This about sums up my feelings on the sound. Looks and engineering you'll have to decide for yourself, but the Rega has a more modern sound, digging detail in a way the Gyro won't do. The Rega is one of those leather Scandinavian reclining chairs, the Gyro is an English leather armchair left over from a London club and smelling faintly of Cigar smoke.
I agree about Rega having more forward-drive, but I think if your Gyro sounded wooly or warm, something wasn't right. Either in the setup or arm/cart. The Gyro has great resolution (certainly much more than my previous rega that I've described in previous post) and is nowhere near wooly-sounding.
