Upgrading from Rega P5 TT


Looking to upgrade from a Rega P5.
Does it make sense to go from the P5 to the new P6.
Is this a latteral move?
Or do I have to go up the ladder to the P9 for better performance?

Wouldn't the P7 be a lateral move, since you have you have a P5 with the Groovetracer subplatter and counterweight? You already have the speedbox. The tonearm on the P7 is the RB700, which is the same on the P5.

I have a P5 with the suite of Groovetracer products(subplatter, counterweight and delrin platter). I think my next move might be swapping out the RB700 tonearm for a RB1000. If not, I just may save up for a used P9. I think going for an RP6 or P7 would be a lateral move.
