Is there any way you could stretch for the Rega P2? That way you're getting the RB250/251 tonearm which will easily outperform the entry-level arms and has numerous upgrades and tweaks available for it. It might be more than you want to spend, but it's the cheapest table that, in my opinion, has real lasting power. You could easily be happy with it for a long time to come.
If you don't want to spend the extra, I'd go with the Rega P1. I had one of the earlier Debut tables and really didn't care for it. I found the NAD 533, which was based on the P1, to be a better overall value.
