Rega P10 with Apheta 3

My local dealer has the Rega P10 with Apheta 3 cart open box (came in wrong color, so never used) for $5,100, retail $7,895. I was not looking for a new TT… but…

I love the look and feel of the P10, form factor is perfect, reviews are glowing and the price looks fantastic. However, I wasn’t looking to spend that money right now. 
My current system:

Pro-ject 1Xpression carbon classic with Hana ML cart

Rega Aria phono stage

Rogue RP-1 pre with NOS Telefunkon medical, Siemens nickel plate & Brimar CV4003 NOS tubes (rolling)

LSA Warp 1 amp

KEF R11 speakers

Rythmic F12SE sub

Aurender N150 streamer

Chord Qutest DAC

My question is would the P10 fit with my system… would it be overkill… is it worth the investment?
I am actually hoping you can talk me out of it! Thanks!

With a "better" phonostage, Rega P10/Apheta could be a final destination.

$5100 is a decent price. 

$5100 can also get a nicer used table,but without the cart.

Go for it only if you're REALLY into LP playback, and don't want the fuss necessary with next level TT.

Approval from the boss means use your conditional pass while you can.

P10 WITH an upgraded phonostage will  keep the ears happy for an extended time

IMO, with your current phonostage, audiophool curiosity will linger.

Perhaps one of those "Only live once" decisions?

"I would prefer VTA & azimuth adjustability" 

You have plenty of options, new or used.

Enjoy the hunt.
