I recently got my hands on a Scheu demo with an Ortofon Super MM 40 and Rega arm for well under your $2000 price...truly a work of art!
I had never used a Scheu table before, but the performance seems to be that of tables costing quite a bit more....especially with the separate motor unit.
I think I could take this table through an upgrade path (new cartridge, new arm, ect) and not max out the capability of the actual plinth, plater and motor until I got well into the $$$$s of dollars in upgrades on other parts of the system. Which at this point is my plan!
