Rega P2, Thorens TD-180 or Music Hall MMF-5.1?

For approximately $600, all these look to be top contenders. Which is the best sounding, highest quality table? In particular, I'm looking for a TT that minimizes inner-groove distotion (which, on my Technics SL-3200, seems unavoidable on some records...)
Thanks!

The TD190 is a good fully-automatic model but the manual P2 and MMF-5 are sonically superior.

Again, thanks for the input!
How does the Pro-Ject Xpression III stack up to the MMF-5.1 and Rega P2?

I have a new MMF-7.1 and am thinking of upgrading to a Rega P5 or VPI. The Pro-Ject arms aren't very tweak friendly.

>>The RB30 arm is phenomenal<<

Well, if in fact you meant the RB300, you're quite incorrect.

The RB300 is a solid, serviceable, and reasonably high value tonearm but hardly phenomenal.

Thanks.
