turntable upgrade

looking to upgrade my turntable. Currently have a music hall 5 which i damaged replacing the cartridge but managed to resolder. Tonearm will still need to be rewired so i thought it would be time for a change. Budget is around 1500-2000 of which the scout ,michell tecnodec,Thorens td-800 and the new marantz tt-15 would qualify if i bought new.
only able to demo the scout locally.Have thought about used but never bought used equipment before. Have only about 200 albums and have already invested in a naimcdx5
cd player which ido most of my listening.However ido want a quality turntable that i acn listen to. would appreciate any advice.

rewiring the tonearm i am told would run around $150-200
so i thought i would just put that towards a better turntable.im also concerned about mounting a cartridge again since i screwed it up the first time. i do have all the tools to do it but ive become afraid i might mess up a more expensive table.
yes i did accidentally create two threads. the first time i wasnt registered with audiogon and used my email. iwasnt sure it would go through so i registered and did it again.
im new to the sight but ive become interested in good equipmentsince ive been collecting music for close to 40 years.im just starting to treat myself to better equipment
and trying to learn .
