Rega, Pro-ject, Music Hall, NEED help

Well, I had all those turntables you listed, except mine was the MusicHall  5.1.There was not much difference I liked the Rega because of the ease in installing  Rega cartridges, which I, however, do not like, all the way up to the exact.  I traded all those TTs in eventually. {I also had Rega P5 and RP6.] I actually prefer restored vintage Thorens TTs with a Jelco arm which allows easy cartridge switching due to the universal headshell. Take a look at Vinyl Nirvana's site.

P.S: I just realized your budget is about $1000; the restored Thorens price would be higher, without cartridge.  Therefore, having owned all 3 of the TTs you mentioned] I would go with the Music Hall 5.3 with installed Ortofon bronze. An easy choice, in my opinion!I  I also forgot to mention in my previous post, I owned an RP8.

Thanks to all for the replies.
