what would you get for 1000$ ?


This is my first step into the madness. I have an old, no-name TT I use to play blues and orchestral records and want to get into something nicer. sub 1000, cart and all. having a hard time...
I'm looking at some of the used things on here and vinyl nirvana. Thorens 150 mod with an RB 300, pro-ject 2 xperience (with either a blue point 2 or a suk pearl and cardas silver wire upgrade), an mmf-7 - all for about the same price. Any suggestions in general? Am I looking in the completely wrong direction?

I know to go more for the table / arm now. My phono stage comes integrated in my McIntosh 6900 - so I don't know specifics, but everyone I talked to said it should do well with just about anything I'd throw at it for now.
My real question I guess is to go vintage (mod) used or recent (demos, returns, light use) used. I know you can get a bigger bang for your buck with used, but is vintage king?
