look for a Systemdek IIx. They can be found for $250 +/- depending on condition and tonearm included. They have a great deal of potential. If you're mechanically inclined and willing to do your own tweaks and setup you'll get much more out of a table. If not, stick with a relatively new (but used) Music Hall MMF5.1
in my experience all tables are very different, just as much or more than cartridges.
