Where to go next with the turntable

I've been a long time owner of a Rega P7, and I feel like investigating an upgrade, I'm ot sure if I want to stick with Rega (P8 or P10) or try something else? Currently using a Soundsmith Zephyr MK III cart and Hegel V10 phono stage,

What I have now sounds good, but some more bass/warmth would be welcome.

Rega philosophy also rejects cleaning records. Any aftermarket tweak can improve the SQ of any turntable which also includes Rega.

I have owned a Rega P9 RB1000 turntable since 2012. Started with an AT OC9 MK2 then upgraded to a Goldring Legacy while keeping my Allnic H 1200 phono preamp. Have also upgraded the standard feet to a set of Spiral Groove footers and have added a Herbie’s Audio record mat/HRS record weight. These upgrades have softened the slight aggressiveness and added a level clarity and cohesiveness. My advise would be consider the P10 or even the Naia, upgrade the Hegel then add a Koetsu Rosewood or Hana Umami Red to add warmth and full bass.
