Do I go vintage or newer?

I'm considering getting back into vinyl. My budget is up to $1,000 for TT and arm, used. I've been looking at the Music hall MMF-7, Rega P5 and couple others. My local hi-end shop has a few Sotas from the 90's that they will refurb and sell to me cheap as long as I buy cartridge from them. My question is which is the better way to go, "vintage" Sota or newer model. Most of my listening will still be CD, but I do have around 200 or so LPs just dying to be heard again.

I had a SOTA NOVA of late and can recommend a vintage SOTA as a good choice, if it is refurbished properly. Suspended tables can be a bit tricky to deal with. From an implementation perspective a suspended table has to be isolated properly to sound its best.

Check Vinyl Nirvana (www.vinylnirvana.com) as Dave usually has some nice vintage tables for sale in your price range. Other than that I think both Jaybo and Tvad have made good suggestions for new tables.
