Turntable is the most expensive in the chain, do it make sense

First all, I have small room and square but fully treated. My journey with analog been few years and now 90% listen to records only.

Been chasing better sound for my analog end up with the system now sound very pleasing to listen to, no fatigue and smooth, as I want try other speaker kind a scare me if not suit to my room, hence I found better idea to get me other table. 
best yet this bring my sound a one step up. Also change some phono stage for better synergy with same brand bring positive impact too.

so now if I wanna upgrade for better table(maybe) that will cost more and still use same cartridge (Dyna RUA) is it make sense ? 
not really want try expensive cartridge, lesson learned hard way.

thanks 🙏

Any change to the cartridge/phono stage (I don't need an SUT) or arm will change the sound. If the turntable is well isolated and is of high quality, it shouldn't change the sound. The turntable should not "sound" like anything.

The most important part of any system is the source - the sound cannot improve from whatever comes out of it. That doesn't mean other things aren't important too. 

As always, the limiting factor (aside from the source) of overall SQ is your room. For a small room, speaker selection is limited.
