What's my next evolution in the analog venture?

What does $1000-1500 gain me? Are new TT's in that price range going to significantly (subjective I know) step over my Technics? I have approx. 300 records and adding quite frequently to that. I listen to everything from Miles, Norah, George Strait, Phil Collins and anything classic rock (Journey, Triumph, Boston, Etc.)

My current setup consists of:

Technics SL 1700 (original) w/Ortofon om40 cart
MF V-LPS phono
Rotel integrated and cd player
B&W 685's
AntiCable and Signal Cable speaker wire and interconnects

There is always trade-offs within the audio world I suppose. Increased resolution=good while less forgiving=not so good.

Currently I don't know anyone with a newer or higher end vintage TT. I have a couple of friends with less expensive units that they rarely use.

I appreciate all thoughts and opinions. I guess upgradeitis is kicking in and thought I might venture further down the analog path while completely understanding that there is always a point of diminished returns when it comes to audio equipment and money spent.

My current system sounds good but obviously it could sound better. Better meaning more money spent on higher performing equipment usually.

I may just hold off for a while. A new TT is one thing. Then I will want to purchase a new cart and then a new phono stage and then the next thing I know.....I've spent double my budget. I've been there done that in the home theater realm.
