Trying to decide on a new turntable - Rega Planar 3 or Music Hall 7.3?

Hello all,

Sold the turntable that I had for 43 years (Accutrac) and now find myself without one for the first time in 43 years.

Question is now, what to get?  Been doing a lot of research, reading this review and that review, by the sounds of it every turntable made is the best.  Pretty sure I can't go wrong with either of the two above, but looking for some comments about them and reliability.

Thoughts on other models would be appreciated.

Thanks.

No experience with the Rega, but I have a Music Hall MMF 7.1 and it's a solid performer. Not sure what the differences are between 7.1 and 7.3.

Thanks for the suggestion on the VPI, however I'm partial to buying new, not because I don't trust the sellers, but I'd also like to establish a relationship with the shop (for my next purchase!).

I like the looks/reviews on the MMF 7.3, does anyone know about reported reliability issues with them?  A shop in WI is offering a new one with Ortofon Bronze cartridge for $1300.

Thanks
