Going from Thorens TD145 MKii to Rega/Music Hall?


I wonder how much would be an upgrade from TD145 MKii (or TD150/160/165/166) to Rega Planar 3 or Music Hall MF 5?
Having a better cartridge would be a better investment? I've used Grado Gold and AT125LC on my TD145 MKii (with Isotrack TP16 tonearm and TP62 arm wand).

For what's it worth - I went from a TD160 with grado platinum cartridge to a Rega P25 with Dynavector DV 20X H and it was a significant improvement. The improvement left me feeling no need to keep on the upgrade rollercoaster. The Rega/Dynavector is very satisfying and involving combination.
The TD160 was correspondingly better than the MMF5 which it replaced.
