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.

Do you want to include Clearaudio's offering? I think they have grat tables in that range.
Basis 1400 signature is outstanding at it's price point.....nice to look at also.
Don't forget to add ease of setup, ability to use a wide range of carts, suitable documentation and technical support, & reliability to your criteria. I've owned the Nott and now own a VPI Aries, both are good tables, ended up keeping the VPI because of the above, a Nott with someone elses arm would be an excellent choice (imho).
