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?

Rega RP8 is a no brainer, to put it simply.
If you want to look at something thats seriously more interesting, check out the Jean Nantais Lenco or Garrard 401 rebuilds. They are as quite as the Rega and way more dynamic and fun:
