Question about Marantz Price

Hello All,
Would a lightly used Marantz TT-15s1 with the original cartridge at $800 be a good price and a good table to get if upgrading from a Denon Dp-300 with a Ortofon 2M Blue cart?
Thanks

If some other lesser cartridge has been put on the table, then maybe not (the Virtuoso is an $800 cartridge).

But I am thinking, since it has no cartridge (assuming everything else is working well and in good condition) and I were to get say a Hana SL MC for around $600 (after a 20% discount as one vendor states), it would end up around $1400 to $1500 (after maybe taxes and shipping), I think that would be a decent deal considering the table new is around $1500. I am still pondering, since I would need to get some type of dust cover.
