upgrade or replace rega planar 3

Hi all,
Just looking for some opinions here. I have a rega planar 3 with an rb600 arm and a denon 103 cartridge. I have been bitten by the upgrade bug. My question is is it worth doind the various upgrades to the planar 3 sich as a deep groove sub platter and acylic platter, or should I just scrap the 3 and upgrade the whole table? Any opinions either way. My budget for a new table/arm combo would be around $1,200.
I listen to mostly rock and jazz.
Thanks

Upgrade to a used Sota or VPI for that budget.

Orpheus,
I dont know whos review or what model of Sota Sapphire or upgrade Rega you are referring to, but I have owned a Sota Sapphire III and Rega P3, both using RB300 arms and the Rega isnt in the same league, not by a long shot, whether you are comparing bass, quietness, speed regulation, isolation from external vibrations, PRAT or any other item. Its just a better made and performing turntable. Have you actually owned and compared both?
