Best at $2500? That depends on your needs. I demoed the P6, 1200GR, and UD. I could have lived with any of them, but the UltraDeck is what lives in my system now.
If I was a cartridge swapper, the GR would have been a no-brainer.
If I was willing to commit to the simplicity of Rega and stick with Rega carts as a "set it and forget it table" then I would have ended up with that one.
I liked the flexibility of the UD for various carts down the road, and I preferred the sound of the UD vs GR in a demo.
