HELP PICKING NEW TURNTABLE

I am going to buy a new turntable. I am trying to decide between the music Hall 5.1 and the Rega P3. I mostly listen to Folk music and 70's rock and roll. It will be hooked up to a marantz PM7200. Which would you choose and why?

Thanks
Dan

Well I have had the New Rega RP3 for a week now. I ordered it with a custom plinth from Joel Sciley at AudioWood.com. Joel did a fantastic job on the plinth. it looks beautiful. He is a top notch guy to deal with. First class work and excellent with answering any and all questions. I am running the turntable through a Marantz PM 7200 integrated amp using Sennheiser HD595 headphones. I just love the sound. totally musical and engaging. Not the least big analytical. I find that I am not thinking about the system at all just listening to the music. I can't say that about my main CD system. The instruction manual said that some people prefer to listen to the table with the cover up. I found this to be true in my situation. With the top down the sound is a bit muddy and bass heavy but with the top up everything snaps into focus. I am very happy with the choice I made. Thanks for all the input guys.

Regards,
Dan
