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?

LEWM -- All of the VPI tables with unipivot arms come with an antiskate device standard.  This has been the case for many years now.

Most people do not use it however, as contrary to what tzh21y has found, the arms tend to track quite well on their own.

Also...this thread is now basically two years old, so I'm guessing that the OP has made a decision by this point!!  lol
