Replacing CDP

So my lightly used 12 yo Music Hall CD25.2 died.  Transport doesn't spin up.  Tried a few fixes suggested on the web but nothing.  I love the sound.  It wasn't high end by any means but it served our needs.
Looking for a replacement NEW under $500 if I can.  Looking at the Cambridge Audio AXC35 for 350.00 and the CXC v2 for $550.  Do I get much more for $200?
Also considered transport/dac and going with a music server.  But the CDP route looks the cheapest for now.
Any thoughts on a good new CDP?
Thanks
