Upgrading Turntable

Hey,

I am looking to upgrade my turntable, I currently have a Project Expression III, and I'm looking to put together a short list to audition.

Right now I'm thinking of Clearaudio Concept, Rega RP6, and VPI Traveler. I'm a little new to analogue, and actually to Hi-Fi in general, got my first system about 7 months ago. So any advice or suggestions about waht to look for in a turntable would be greatly appreciated. My budget is around $2000.

Thanks for reading
