stacking mats will work of course but it seems you might want to consider a rigid solution for the majority of the 'lift' ( metal, pom, whatever you think is right ) and then a single mat.  
Clearaudio Concept TT subpar sound quality
Can you borrow a pair of analog ’active speakers’ and plug in the 3.5mm jack to try a setup sans the A/D / wireless aspects?  
Clearaudio Concept TT subpar sound quality

Tonearm that surface mount without cutting a hole?
Viv Lab  
New turntable
In truth this budget covers a lot of good choices.   Aside from the vintage candidates and re-imagined idlers ( which are great fun )  I would mention the STST Motus DQ ( long standing and totally sorted direct-drive from Germany.)   Caveat I ... 
Kiseki Purple Heart NS to Dynavector xv-1s ??
What tonearm? Dyna seems to thrive in slightly higher eff mass vs the Kiseki...  
Any thoughts on the new polycarbonate LP's

Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other
If you will want setup expertise onsite I would think that finding a seller ( dealer or otherwise) that is capable of such and willing may also sway the end decision.  
Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other
Makes sense. Will you setup the cart on your own?  
Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other
All three are good, this does not mean they sound the same of course. The SP10R offers you the chance to pick the plinth ( one with two arm mounts might be nice...since you are a classical music buff there are a lot of old mono records you might w... 
Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other
You are in for a treat with any of the upgrade ideas vs the current Rega. You will find, however, that it is tough to correlate design ideals with reality. For example suspension *should* always be a good idea and direct drive has better measured ...
