Stepping up from Rega 25 - suggest used turntable?

I have been enjoying a Rega planar 25 turntable with stock arm (RB300?) for about a year. The cartridge is a Linn Adikt. I like the warm sound with good dynamics,...but I recently listened to a new Linn LP12 with the same cartridge, and experienced a HUGE improvement in the depth/soundstage of the music. I am convinced that I need to improve my turntable...but I can't swallow the $5,000 price tag on the new Linn. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for a used purchase in the $2,500 or less range. Also..the TT must be pretty simple..can't require a lot of tweaking. Some of the past discussions point toward Teres, Nottingham and VPI.... THANKS for your advice!
FYI, my phono stage is within my Rotel RC995 pre amp. I have a Rotel RB1080 AMP, and Infinity reference series RSIIB speakers. phoppmann@hoppmann.com

hi Zulla
usualy rega 25,s come with an rb 600 is the arm black or silver.if it is silver and a 600,my inclination would be to make an offer for the $1200 teres in analog tables.take the 300 off it,put your 600 and adikt on the teres with some make of vta adjuster.put the 300 on the 25 and flog it for about $700 and for $600 or less all told you will have a pretty awesome set up.I dont know the people selling the teres.
