Music Hall's "Classic" turntable :How does it compare to other similarly priced T/T's


Want to replace my U-Turn turntable I purchased  with a few upgrades I changed the prepacked Ortofon 2M Red with an Audio Technica VM95SH  with( shibata stylus) about 2 years ago.  I am seriously considering Music Hall ' s "Classic" turntable priced at $ 649,00 . Looks nice and has convenient features like auto shut- off and a built in phono amp ( which I don't need) 

Need some feedback about this table 's performance and sound.  Have found few reviews  Also, considering  Rega's P2  and Project's Debut Evolution Carbon table. All are prepacked with $100 cartridge.  Will replace my choice with the Audio Technica which is superior to them.

 

Thank you,

I would avoid it for many of the reasons stated above.  Can you stretch the budget a few hundred?  If Direct Drive is ok with you I’ve been very happy with my Technics.  You can use your current cartridge, I believe
