Wanting a fully automatic step up from Denon DP61F

Hi All,

I have a Denon DP 61F with a AT 33 PTG cartridge in my secondary system (Arcam electronics, Paradigm Studio 40s) and am very pleased with it. (When I put the Denon in my main system in place of my Linn Valhalla, Cirkus LP12 it sounded almost as good!) The thing is, I'm always looking for an improvement, hence this post.
What I'm wondering is, is there any table that is fully automatic like my Denon which would sound better. In my secondary system I really want to keep the convenience of both auto start and stop and electronic cueing. I need to keep the price under $1000 and would only want to make a move if I was going to get a significant step up. Obviously, I'm thinking vintage direct drive here. I have a feeling that it is not possible to improve my sound significantly given my requirements, but wonder if anyone has any suggestions for me to think about.
In my identical post on Audiokarma several folks suggested a Yamaha PX2, any thoughts on that?

Thanks in Advance,
Jay
