First Turntable Advice

Looking to dip my toes in with vinyl. Would prefer something easy to set-up/use, that gets me a good introduction to vinyl. At this point I have considered the Rega RP6, Clearaudio Concept, and VPI Scout 1.1. Any thoughts on these tables or any others I should be considering? I don't think I'll be able to audition them locally, so any input is appreciated.
My system is McIntosh C2300/MC352, B&W804D's, Luxman DA-06, MacBook Pro.

IMO, the Rega is the easiest to set up, especially with a Rega cartridge. Also as you upgrade, Rega's are generally easy to sell on the used market.

The RP6 will be the easiest to move and set up once you get it home. That is my opinion, of course, obviously as you can see there are two camps on the subject. I strongly recommend if at possible to find a way to audition the two brands. In my experience, the presentation of these two are quite different, hence the two camps. Both are right! It comes down to the sound that pleases your ears the most.
Really there are no RULES, only taste.
