Best turntable under $2000

I have been thinking about Rega Planar 6 with a cartridge (1995$). Are there any other models that are as good or better, that I should look out for under this budget? 
I currently have a Rega P2. The sound is good but I don't get a very good separation of vocals and instruments and also the detailing is not as resolving as I would like it to be.

Thanks.

To respond to the preference for VPI, I have a VPI Aries 2 and it is a great table and with a Lyra Delos outclasses any sub $2000 turntable. But, as I recall, I paid close to $4000 for that table with JMW 10.5 arm. I also previously owned an original VPI Traveler, but IMO the 1200GR sounds superior to the Traveler. It is a superb deck for $1700 and my audio/music listening friends agree.

neo: It's best if you learn how to install, align and adjust your own cartridges. I would never trust mine to anyone else.
