Turntable to go with NAD and B&W's..Vpi, Rega etc

Hey there-so..I am soon to be getting my 1000 lps from England, and have been offered killer deal on almost new VPi Scout ($900) w/out cartridge..
Also saw used (and 8 years old) Rega P-25 locally..w/ Grado Platinum-as yet unsure of how good the stylus is on that one..
Advice please? It is super hard to find a dealer who can compare even a Vpi against ANY rega out here in LA believe it or not..
The build quality of Vpi seems excellent to me..Rest of system is NAD 320 BEE amp, NAD PP2 phono, B & W 602 S2 , -not fancy, but think it makes sense to spend money on front end at this point. ALSO...if i need to watch funds and get cheap cartridge..grado Black? Denon 160?

hey there-yes, budget is round about $1000 or thereabouts for t /table and cartridge.
so , if i can get the scout for 900...then maybe cartridge for 100 or so, i would be very happy...
but am interested in alternatives of course and suggestions!

The seller of the Rega says it's 7 years old and only has
30 hours on it? Beware of sellers making claims like this.This is just my opinion.

yes, i agree- an 8 year old table-its 3 hours playing time a year....!
Now-how about the crtridge- I NEED a 100-150 dollar cartridge to go in the VPI if i go for that...

Koloft, trolling for customers on message boards without paying for the opportunity is very bad form. I wouldn't give you a dime no matter what you were selling with these tactics.
