Garrard 301 or Thorens TD-124 in good condition with a simple arm can be acquired easily for $5k or less. these will fit into most room styles. and knowledgeable visitors will assume you know what you are doing. and not just checking the tt box.
beauty is subjective......but these two are nice looking and very fine sounding too.
