Avid Diva II SP or keep my Linn

Currently I own a 1986 Linn LP12 w/a Cirkus upgrade, Ittok tonearm, Lingo 3. The cart is a Dynavector 20xl2. However I have a chance to get a Avid Diva II SP w/a Clearaudio Clarify arm for $3300. I've always been impressed w/Avid. Would this be much of an upgrade? Any thoughts on the Clearaudio tone arm. If I sell my Linn I will transfer the Dynavector cart to the Avid.

I have heard the Avid models. Avid Volvere and above are very good TTs. The Diva is nothing to write about.  The Diva actually sounded bright and somewhat digital like.
Instead a Rega RP6 and above are much much better. You get a serious TT from Rega with very good analog presentation.
