Upgrades for Rega P3. Worth it?

Good afternoon, all. Have been considering various upgrades to my Rega P3 and wondering if anyone could share their own experiences with this. In particular, looking for real advice on whether certain upgrades were worthwhile and/or had an observable benefit to sound quality to people who've done them.

I currently have a P3 with an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge, Clearaudio counterweight, and Pro-ject Tube Box SE II phono stage. Potential upgrades I have considered:
Rega TT PSU power supply,
Groovetracer (or other) subplatter,
Groovetracer (or other) acrylic platter (vs. stock glass),
Phono cartridge replacement

Are any of these really worth doing?

Rega P3 plus upgrades equal Sota Saphire minus the suspension.

P3- 24 motor upgrade + incognito tone arm wire + Deluxe Groove tracer subplatter + Heavy Weight for tonearm + Iron Audio Acrylic Platter = Sota Saphire, and this is according to someone who owns both tables.

Only you can decide whether or not it's worth it.

Enjoy the music.
