Didn't mention the cart you have. Why do you want to dump the rega so fast?
Since you say you're "new" to vinyl (welcome!)I'd keep the rega w/ unknown cart, and put $3k into used and new vinyl, save the rest, and wait till next year.
Do not ever talk to dealers about recomendations. They will always have one. It will not be what you have, nor will it be for free.
