Turntable upgrade

I would like to upgrade my TT setup. Right now it consists of a Rega P6 with an Ania cartridge and a Rega MC FONO phono amp. Rogue RP-1(which I plan to upgrade to a RP-5v2) and a Parasound 2125v2. My speakers are AV123 Strata Mini's. 
I believe I want to upgrade to the Rega P8 tonearm, platter and possibly the P8 motor and pulley. I really do not like the look of the P8 or 10. I think upgrading to the P8 motor and pulley might not be possible, but I’m wondering if the tone arm and platter would make a big difference? My listening room is moving from a 25 by 20 room to a 15 1/2 by 12 1/2 foot room. Which I’m looking forward to because the other room was so big everyone’s crap wound getting dumped there.

Thanks for any suggestions or comments

I would really switch brands then. With all the TT changes you describe, you may not realize a lot of improvements. 

I tried the Parasound 2125v2 for a month and it was underwhelming to say the least. The only thing I wouldn't change in your chain is the TT, so much for staying on point.
