Top used turntables under $500

Iam entering the turntable market and have a budget of 500. There are many used tables on the market, I have a B & K pro10 sonata preamp with McCormack DNA1 amp.

Must haves: great sounding without constantly repairing or tweaking. This may remove Thorens players?

 That said my list includes 
Micro Seiki DD40 
sota
realistic 420
Others?????

Townshend rock elite - brilliant design - not the greatest finish but very very effective

I bought a Rock Elite for about £300 about 4 years ago in the UK - that equates to $500 USD. Trawl some British websites.
I have spoken to MAX a few times, and people who really know his TT's and I get the impression that from the Avalon to the reference there is a house sound. I modified mine with: a Berger lahrs motor from a DPS; a two phase power supply, and an acrylic platter. Love it so much that other projects have taken a back seat as I sit back and enjoy the music
