Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ??

I`ve been enjoying a nice Rega P5 with Groovetracer upgrades (minus platter) but am thinking about a change now. 
Question: Should I add additional upgrades to this table like a better arm and a better platter or would I be further ahead just getting a different table ? 
I`m pretty set on my phono stage (Herron VTPH-1MC) and cartridge (ZYX AIRY 3) the room has been treated and the table is on a Rega rack. 

Thanks
Steve

What is your verdict on the P10? should i make the jump?

A friend of mine upgraded from Groovemastered P5 to P9 - big improvement. Then P9 to P10 - bigger improvement again.

Either latest P8 or P10 would be way better than a heavily modded P5. 

I would also bypass the RP series - the latest P8/P10 are really a significant step forward on the previous generations.

Same with the Rega cartridges - I would never have bought a Rega MC a few years ago, but the latest generation are very good.
