Based on the OP's experience/existing setup, a $150 Spin Clean is all that's needed, or MAYBE one of those MIC budget US's now available.
Unless the OP is buying used LP's US isn't likely to needed.
I have a collection/setup to justify purchasing a proper RCM, but have managed to get by Spin Clean for many years.
Hearing my used Spin Cleaned LPs on UBER setups confirmed my thinking finding good condition LPs to start with is paramount.
