help from the pros - frame comparison of two VCR's

My setup is a VHS-C VCR/camcorder (PAL) ->(svideo/composite cable depending on cam)-> tbc1000 ->(svideo cable) advc100 -> DV file

I wasn't able to get a pro VCR where I live, so I tried multiple other options and would like your opintion, yes, I know it is the weakest link and maybe the most important one, but I might have to live with that (unless its worth spending $450+ on..)

So the LEFT is a simple SONY 4 head VCR, with a composite connection, which was really close to a few other non-pro VCR's I've tested (LG 6 heads, etc).
The RIGHT came from a JVC VHS-C camcorder (jvc GR-SXM470, should have TBC/NR), I think its very similar to this one: http://www.jvc.co.uk/files/instructi...t0707-001c.pdf


The JVC one seems a bit harsh, but that might be only because I am comparing it to the VERY soft SONY one ?

Can I get your input on this ? Does the picture look ok ? should I change my gear ? get another camcorder (sony maybe?)

EDIT: the pic might be misleading, but the video from the SONY looks really smooth compared to the JVC, which is kind of annoying.
