Systemdek iix upgrade path to ??

Hey reader!
I've been upgrading my system slow and steady. I have a Systemdek iix, clean, perfect speed, Denon 103r cart, Boston Audio Mat1. It sounds good to me, but (please don't question the "but", if your reading this you know why) I would like to get to the next level, if I can. I have a budget of $1K, so I've been looking for a good VPI deal. My buddy had a classic, yes I know I'm not finding that for $1K, and I loved the sound.
My question is this; will buying a table for $1K, say a older vpi scout or mark 2/3/4 be a decent jump in sound? Or do I have to go higher? My other components are decent mid level, but I love vinyl and have over 2000 lps and all and I'm quite happy with my dac/transport setup.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Jack, you didn't mention the arm on your Systemdek, so I am assuming it is the arm that comes with the table.
First, the DL-103r cart is not the best match. I would try a different more compliant cart first. Do you plan on keeping the Denon for your new TT upgrade? If so you want to get a tone arm that is heavier to match the Denon.
Just mt 1/4c
