I left you a reply about your future TT purchase. I will add, consider contacting Galen Carol Audio. I believe he has a demo P3-24 w/cartridge. He is a stand-up guy (dealer) and have done business with many times from a distance. The Rega is listed on his site under steals or deals. He will be happy to talk with you on the phone also.
That is a TT you could grow into. Regards, David-
