MoFi Ultradeck or Technics 1200GR

I’m rather new to vinyl but long time audiophile with good system. 
Looking to purchase a good turntable (within reason), best bang for the buck and have narrowed to these 2 choices. 
Hoping the analog community can give me some direction or advice on new Ultradeck or new 1200GR or something better if I’m missing the boat. 
I’d prob get a Master Tracker cartridge for the Ultra or a _______cartridge for the Technics (or in other words I don’t have a clue) . 
Thanks,
Bill

@lewm 

the 2 turntables auditioned were in the same system with all the same downstream components.

Again this is just my opinion of the way I heard it and wrote my notes.

I wonder if the VPI Prime and the Prime Scout sound the same or have differences.  The Prime is a lot more money.

I also have the Master Tracker cartridge which I like. I have vintage MM's too. A lot of carts out there. That's all I've got tonight, going to bed....

I actually think that the original scout with acrylic platter sounds better than the prime.  Maybe its the acrylic platter lending to a sound that I preferred on the VPI.  They sound very similar in many ways.
