The Linn Sondeck is a good alternative. If looks are a priority there's a wealth of choices. However if you want looks and the performance/functionality of a 1210 it's probably stretching your budget.
I can understand the aesthetics are super functional though. Not sure about the brand connotations but it's an industrial design classic on it's popularity alone. I'd compare it to the Bic Biro and AK47 in terms of success and recognition in it's field.
