@jimbennet stated  " Or used SL1300 that is very old " which seems to be a purchase being considered?

HiFi Shark is offered to help with used market

 later states " Those are used eBay items. I want new " ??

There are many many TT's recently released and in our budget, why limit oneself to a shortlist of Three Models?

There are many many many TT Models to be considered when having the used market for TT's included in your investigation, options that could be discovered to easily surpass the 3 x TT's shortlisted.     

The Fluance is within the price range of the tables that you listed. It is sold factory direct ( no dealer markup ) with a 30 day return policy. I doubt that you would go wrong with that table!!

I encourage you to up your budget to this AT120 model,

Direct Drive, Removable Headshell, (think long, a small collection of cartridges, including a true mono one, eventually MC)

optional internal MM Phono EQ, surprisingly I preferred it to my McIntosh C28’s MM Phono. I had one for years between my Thorens TD124 and current JVC setup. Allows you to calmly search for dedicated MM/MC/SUT phono stage you prefer, and always have ability to play LPs if problems occur.

If you like, many wood surround/base units are made
