New or used?

So I've continuously heard that at least below 2 grand, money is better spent on a used, refurbished turntable - rather than a new model. BUT I've never heard why! (at least beyond "they're better"). If it's so clear that "they're better" - why do new TT's do well, particularly in this large price range. Also, sound off if you think new is the way to go.

I'd opt for new. There are a dozen good candidates with up-to-date engineering and materials: Rega P5, Clearaudio Emotion, Marantz 15, VPI Scout, etc.

I would rather have new, with possibly a dealer to support me, than rely on where I can find such and such an ooold part.........just my .02
