Agree with the above, go used. A Linn LP12 or Oracle Mk3 with very nice arms could be had at that price. Both will handily outperform the new tables you mentioned.
look around for used tables too. I just got lucky and bought a VPI mk4 with sumiko blue point special cartridge, and rega RB300 tonearm. total $850. This is so much better than the two new tables I was looking at, Rega 3 and the Music Hall 7 in the price range.
