Rega RP8 and alternatives in $3000-4000 range

Hi,

I'm thinking of replacing my RP3 with an RP8. Are there any obvious alternatives in the $3000-4000 price range? I've been looking at a VPI Classic 1 (but it's not available in stores in my city so I can't try it).

I'd be particularly interested in hearing from people who have long-time experience with the RP8. Is it a keeper or have you decided to upgrade to an RP10 or something else?

thanks

I'm curious to hear if anyone has had the rp8 for a longer period of time

If you decided to let it go, what where the reasons?

Thanks for your advice, everyone.
Yes, best to take time and try out
And yes, I have a feeling that the rp8 is great value for the money. The fact that alternatives such as vpi classic signature on black Friday sale cost 5k says something. That's 2k more and that's a lot for me

Thanks, the Well Tempered GTA looks amazing. There are just a few issues for me so I understand what people mean when they say it’s not a turntable for everyone. The vpi signature looks like the perfect turntable but it’s beyond my budget at the moment
