Turntable Shoot Out $2000-3000

I have been out shopping. The sweet spot for high end TT's appears to be squarely in this price range. VPI Scoutmaster/JMW, Kuzuma Stabi/Stogi, Nottingham SpaceDeck/Ace Space, Michell Gyro/Rega, Wilson Benesch Circle Turntable/ACT 0.5 Tonearm, the upcoming Galibier Sarac. All have good pedigrees/reputations, all are in this(reasonably) affordable price range, all sound somewhat different, but which offers the most sonic bang for the buck??? Any one with direct comparative experiences? Thanx.
