Best turntable under $2000

I have been thinking about Rega Planar 6 with a cartridge (1995$). Are there any other models that are as good or better, that I should look out for under this budget? 
I currently have a Rega P2. The sound is good but I don't get a very good separation of vocals and instruments and also the detailing is not as resolving as I would like it to be.

Thanks.

VPI is a winner at any price point...easily upgraded or sold...great customer service, etc.

While I liked the VPI Classic enough to buy one, in your case, you should definitely audition before going that route.  It will provide more heft and liquidity, but I feel the Planar 6 better addresses  complaints you raise.  The previous RP6 didn't strike me as good value, as it was mostly a hot rodded RP3.  The one differentiates itself enough to warrant the moniker, and I think also justifieds its worth
