Up grade to a new turntable

Hello FriendsI wish to upgrade my turntable!!My music taste, is 70.s rock, blues, jazz rock, new wave, male vocals etc!!Here in Australia, there only a few turntables available!!, at my price, as I'm on a pension!!, I have mad a list!!1. Well Tempered Labs, reference, with a reference, arm, this is used in mint condition, that has been set up by the importer!! , but at a price $4,000!!, but with a Dynavector 20 xx high output, I'm using  low output, at the moment, on my "Once Analog" turntable!!, so I don't now how it would sound, would the higher output, sound harsh, on my phono stage, in MC, or should I switch to MM??
2.VPI prime scout, at around $5,000!!3. Kuzma Stabi, with basic arm, or if I have the money, a upgrade arm??4. Scu audio, premier, with same arm??Hoping someone can help me, with advice??Many ThanksDavid SpryAustralia

@tomwh    I guess sometime a turntable designer will implement VTA on the fly adjusted by an electric motor to raise and lower the arm pillar and a remote to operate it.  Then you can stay in your seat and tune it by ear.

On my Simon Yorke Aeroarm the pillar is raised by a knurled wheel acting on a rack and Simon could easily engineer a motorised adaptation.
But he would not do it as he enjoys the ritual of getting up and down from the seat and wants his customers to get the same buzz.
