Help me decide on first turntable purchase


This is my first turntable purchase. Last time I had a TT was when I was teenager in the 80's. I don't have much vinyl at all so I have to buy records as well. Budget is $3000, really don't want to go over that. I need a phono stage as well. My system is Sonus Faber Sonetto VIII, PrimaLuna EVO 400 integrated. My digital is a Innuos Zenith mkIII into a Chord Qutest. My initial thoughts on a couple tables were the Mofi Ultradeck, Music Hall 7.3 and Rega Planar 6. I am sorry but I just don't like the look of the Technics stuff. I am not a big fan of the Rega looks either but I know it gets great reviews. I was considering a Clear Audio Concept until I joined the Facebook owners group and hear about all the motor speed problems. Initial phone Pre I was looking at were the Mofi and KC Vibe. The Ultradeck seems very solid and seems to get great reviews.
Thank you for your thoughts.

I have a setup similar to yours at least in the amp part. PrimaLuna Evo 300 integrated, Tannoy Autograph Mini, and a REL T/5i sub. I pretty much looked at all the tables you mentioned, and ended up with the Rega P6 with an Ania Pro cart. I got a very good deal from tmraudio.com. For me it came down to essentially plug and play, not having to fit up a cart as I'm new to the world of vinyl, and great reviews. I've had the table for about 1 year now and have been very happy. Fit and finish is top notch, it's been trouble free and sounds wonderful!
