Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables?


I have a Technics SL1000 MK3 in beautiful condition and in it's lifetime has seen very little use.
I am ready to send it off for complete electronics restoration/upgrade, upgrade the speed control processor module and have the Krebs mods done.  Will cost about $2500.00 to have all this done.

I was wondering how this would compare to what is out there for modern turntables after all the work is done? 
Or, would I be better off selling it, and adding what I was going to spend for the upgrades to a new turntable?
I believe these should sell in untouched condition for at least $5K?  So that would put me in the $7.5K range for a modern table?

For tonearms, I already have:
New, unmounted Moerch DP8
Fidelity Research FR64S, in beautiful condition that I sent off to Ikeda/Japan and they re-wired (better silver wiring, I still have original wires) and completely tore it down and rebuilt/re-lubed.... it's just like a new FR64S.

I think this table would be hard to beat at the $7500.00 price point, but would appreciate others opinion.

Finally got the SP10 MK3 sent to JP last week.
He will be doing everything he can and I also will be purchasing a 'spare' speed controlling chip, in case it is needed in the future.

Now I'm looking for a TTM Monitor Mat...
Congrats @rich121
My Victor 101 is with JP but on stand by as it has a few character issues.  I expect JP to go surf with it when finished. Glad you kept the SP10. When JP's finished it will be new again. Don’t ever let it go!
What are the character flaws in your TT101?  Does it sing the song of the Volga Boatmen?  Does it run on Vodka?
@lewm After recap and resoldering all the joints, one bad transistor has been replaced, bad wire connection has been fixed, motor hall sensor has been replaced (donor part has been found). Platter edge has been polished, thrust adjusted (the difference was about 1.5 mm :) The minor pulsing noise from the motor (if your ear near the platter) is gone. All these solved.

The last issue was a cyclic fluctuation in motor drive JP need to troubleshoot.

It’s like a scientific lab where JP x-ray all the invisible problems.
