Old B&O vs. new Rega P1

I have an old B&O RX turntable with the MMC3 cartridge. I'm thinking of upgrading. Would the new Rega P1 be much of an upgrade?

It only take their own cartridges Look here: B&O Turntable/Cartridge Lookup Chart Personally, the B&O TTs were never quite my cup of tea, but they were reasonably well-made and good sounding decks. Some had quite advanced features, even by today's standards, and they are quite a bargain. I have heard a couple of Beogram 8xxx units and they sounded pretty good; certainly better than the P-1 or any other new sub-$600 entry-level deck I can think of.
