Rega Planar 3: Is the Exact a significant upgrade from the Elys 2?


I understand that not everyone loves belt drive turntables or Regas but I have an opportunity to buy a new Planar 3 with the Elys 2 for a really good price or a new Planar 3 with the Exact 2 for a few hundred more.

Is the Exact such a significant upgrade over the Elys that it’s worth paying $300 more for a table with it? Or would it be smarter to get the cheaper one with the Elys 2 and choose another upgrade path for the cartridge in the future?

You can do much much better than the Elys 2. You’ll be looking to upgrade very soon after your purchase.
