Which to upgrade first: Turntable or Phono Preamp


Hi, I just recently got back into vinyl about 8 months ago after switching to digital 30+ years ago.  My current setup is as follows:
 - Pro-ject Classic Turntable
 - Hana ML cartridge
 - Vincent PHO 701 phono preamp

I'm very happy with the Hana, but am thinking about upgrading either the turntable or the phono stage.   Although I'm not entirely unhappy with the current setup.   Just going through some upgrade fever I guess.   The question I have is which one do you think I should upgrade first:  Turntable or the Phone stage?

I'm thinking about the Clearaudio Concept turntable and the PS Audio Stellar phono stage, but I'm open to suggestion.   I'm hoping to spend under 3k on either.

Anyway, the real question is whether anyone thinks which upgrade will give me more bang for the buck: Turntable or Phono stage?

Thanks very much in advance.

You guys stop pushing this Herron/PS Audio/whatever you got on every occasion. Your credibility suffer. There are many phono stages under $3k, especially if used is acceptable but even if only new. You don't even know the rest of the man's system and his sound preferences, why the hell do you jump with recommendations ?
If your plans are to upgrade everything soon enough, just do it step by step one at a time, then I would start with the table. If you want to do only one upgrade then phono stage.
