Should I upgrade?

I have an older (21 yrs old) Denon direct drive DP-33F fully auto (I only use the auto lift function). I was going to upgrade to one of the Pro-Ject model tables (RM-5 or Xperience). But lately I've been hearing that maybe I should keep my old table and get a better cartridge and invest in a phono amp. I'm at a lost, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Upgrade to a mechanically better TT.U will eliminate floor noise which will increase with a new and better cartridge.JT

My sentiments exactly. The TTs you mention don't have near the build quality of the Denon you have. I don't know what cartridge you've been using, but you could get a Denon DL-110 HO MC cart and a Creek or Bellari VP 129 phono stage for about the same or less than the entry-level turntables you mentioned.
