As you can see, you're getting plenty of suggestions how to spend your money. There's even one saying he has a VERY good one, but it's STILL BOXED, because he has a "BETTER" one! The Bardo products get mentioned because they are proven  performers. If I were in buying mode at that level, I'd consider DD.

I would decide first if you're going new or used. It can make a considerable difference in what your money will buy. Used can get a $20K  piece negotiated to half. 

An example is on usaudiomart. I can't link here for obvious reasons. But there is a killer VPI Avenger  deal there for a package with a lot to offer.

I would go with the Brinkmann Bardo. That turntable is a work of art. Have looked at and listened to Technics, not bad, but not in the same league as Bardo.

Tundra - any number of great TT bases out there for the non suspended tables - I use HRS created by an engineer w ears but there are others for sure.

how is your quest going ? Hopefully having fun.

Try this if you considering classics (direct drive) for two tonearms.
