Used turntable for <$2k

This is probably a well tread topic but with so innovations in analog playback and new offerings from Rega et al i thought i would ask again;
The short of it is I'm in the market for a gently used turntable to replace a Pro-ject RPM 3. I purchased this turntable as a stop gap and its served me well . I particular like the set and forget aspect; eons ago i had an LP 12... well enough said .
So whats the recommendations for a used deck and arm sub $2k. I've heard Rega maybe RP 8, ClearAudio concept or perhaps a Kuzma Stabi S?

Current set up is Bel Canto eOne for the pre and amp section and Gallo Strada paired with REL for moving Air.

Thanks

I disagree about buying used.  Sure, there is a chance of defects unless you carefully check out the product before buying, but given the option of spending $2K for a new table or the same $2K for a $4-5,000 new price used table, the latter is pretty tempting.

I've bought used on high end tables several times and never ended up with a dog.
