Upgrade from Rega P3-24 .....

Please take a look at my current updated system's analog front end. I am perhaps considering an upgrade, thinking about the Rega RP6 and the VPI Traveler, with a nicely matching high output MC or MM cartridge. My total budget is around $2000. Would either of these tables be a considerable enough upgrade over my current system to justify a new purchase ? Or would I need to spend more $$$ to really hear an improved sound ? Other thoughts ? I love the way my system sounds now, but may be experiencing a bout of "upgrade fever." I've already taken some aspirin, but the fever won't go away.

I haven't had a Rega in a while but I think the addition of the Audiomods Classic arm would be a worthwhile upgrade. You get a much better arm and VTA without spacers. If you are handy you can do the kit for around $500. You can then sell the arm you have to help fund the purchase. I have one mounted to my VPI and think it is a very good upgrade. A few guys at Vinyl Engine have some things to say about it.
