@rbgator94 my first thought is...do you have a trusted audio dealer?
My rationale is they may have a great used opportunity and possibly one you can audition.
If new is your goal, I really appreciate the combination of simplistic solution and strong performance of Rega.
There's a lot of good turn tables out there with various design philosophies and Rega has tables like the P3 that perform and are easy to set-up. I personally upgraded to the P8 because the simplicity is really attractive to me in higher end applications.
Yet there are great products from companies like VPI who stand behind their product and will get you where you want to go.
Good luck and enjoy the journey.
