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

... After I adjusted the VTA for typical thickness of vinyl I grabbed a 180 gram record and marked the spot for that. This way you can literally adjust the VTA very quickly by the thickness of the album with the markings on the VTA dial ...
After changing VTA, do you also adjust overhang? One affects the other, and that is the limitation of VTA on-the-fly, imo.

VTA on the fly is highly over rated and can be detrimental to the performance of the tonearm. On this subject I think Michael Fremer is correct.
C'mon, where did Fremer ever say that???@mijostyn, it increasingly looks like you just like to make stuff up.
