Rega RP3 vs Sota Moonbeam II


I have an LFD NCSE integrated amp with Harbeth speakers. I am looking to get into vinyl. So Rega RP3 or Sota Moonbeam II with Ortofon black cartridge. Any help regarding these choices would be greatly appreciated.

Also if there are other recommendations I welcome your suggestions

I love my rega / jasmine / audio technica setup (see system link for detials).
Maybe Schubert, you will be surprised at how much better the new line is. However, I know you are a big fan of Japanese DDs. I trust your judgement on bookshelf speakers and you have given me valuable information based on music taste. IMHO, Rega and Sota stand alone in entry level turntables up to $1,500.00 with Clearaudio and VPI in close second place. Again, just my opinion.
Kiko65, I'm a big fan of detachable headshells as I love to swap carts around for the hell of it.
I LOVE the old-school look of the Sota Comet with the 303, but the 2m black is very sensitive to VTA.And fooling with spacers doesn't appeal to me and might not get the exact VTA anyway.
I know , fact certain, a turntable setup that is great for most often is NOT for symphonic music.
I'm beginning to think I need to quit jerking around and buy a Michell Gyrodeck. Other suggestions?
