SME V tone arm advice


I’m the original owner of the SME V tone arm, Litz wire on a Oracle Delphi Mk II table. I would like to upgrade the table in the 3-4 K range. My question is might it be better to sell the arm and purchase a table arm combination such as VPI prime or keep the arm and add a table and maybe replace the phono cable? A new cartridge is up for grabs at this point, prefer high output.  Thanks everyone for your experienced opinions.

Thank you all for your highly  regarded advice as it appears to be unanimous. I was on the fence but not anymore. Evidently some products withstand the test of time. 
Thanks all,
jperry, using a Prism Orpheus as my one and all pre/Dac. Decware and Sim amps , Grand Veenas complete my quiver. 
Soundsmith Aida MI  has my interest right now. 
Actually id like to simplify  and Lyngdorf may get my business as an all in one. 
Spatial, Dutch,Dutch; and Tekton may also be on the horizon. Appreciate your interest. 
Just pulled the trigger on a used GyroDec Mk V. Thanks to everyone for the perfect advice. Can’t wait! 
Thanks Folkfreak, the gyrodec is only in transit to me and already fascinated by the Pedersen mod. I haven’t spun vinyl since my Talisman Virtuoso DTI. Hopefully my growth will be slow and steady as I’m already out of comfort zone so to speak. 
roberjerman, 
didnt want to think your advice was ignored. I had a price cap in mind and maybe in the future you’re $7500 recommendation might have been the deal of a short lifetime. Wanted to say thanks and will keep my eyes open. Regards.
