Turntable Suggestions

I'm looking for my first table and need suggestions.
Budget is under $2,000 but I honestly don't know what
level table would be under or overkill in my current
system,i.e. how good is the phono stage in my YBA? I
would like to keep it simple, no outboard stage. I'm
considering the new Marantz with cartridge for $1,600 or
a VPI Scout.
Love to hear any suggestions or thoughts.
Thanks,
Attila
