I got a 2 week old Rega P9 turntable with RB1000 tonearm for $2600. For $2600 the Rega P9 is very very very hard to beat. I am not familiar with the Teres, and I am a relative newbie to vinyl, but the new Rega P9 offers the following:
1 - A platter that is ceramic and fused to the hardness of saphire. Yes saphire... the only natural substance harder is diamond.
2 - A power supply that some folks could mistake for an amplifier. It seems to have amazing control over the speed of the table.
3 - The RB1000 tonearm ($1595 if bought seperately), this tonearm is, well... better than any other Rega toneams by a pretty good margin. The tonearm is made to go with the table.
4 - A turntable that is not tweaky and will sound good with minimal adjustment through time.
5 - A turntable (when mounted with an even average cartridge) that will kick the crud out of any digital source on the market... heh heh.
If you want to see a pic of it:
