At that price point, you have some great options and many folks (like I am about to do) will recommend the turntables that they eventually settled on.
Before I get to my turntable choice though, I will say that the Amadeus is a good one-stop solution. No need to worry yourself about arm upgrades. Though when you move into the price range you are discussing here, then the Amadeus' fit and finish are not going to be particularly competitive. With other tables you may be getting a more substantial table (steel or metal frames rather than MDF, a suspension rather than squash balls). But, that said, I used to own an Amadeus and it sounded GREAT.
What did I replace it with? Townshend Rock 7. You can read the TAS reviews of them to get an idea of how they compare sonically. Townshend Rock 7 also feels like a more bombproof build (steel frame, with suspension). And for better or worse you can think abotu upgrading the arm should you get the itch. I love my Moerch DP-6 arm with it. The the arm is a bit tweaky but I love the swappable armwands! I have also heard great things about the Helius Omega tonearm and have seen that it is often paired with the Rock at shows. That is the arm I am most interested in hearing with my Rock. Maybe one of these days.
All of that said, if at all possible I would look into auditioning the tables on most interest. No substitution for hearing the table yourself. We all respond to different aspects of music differently, and some tables may be better suited to reproducing certain aspects of music better than other aspects. This will then intersect with your preferences in terms of what you listen for most in music as well as the characteristics that are most present (and again, important to you) in the genres that you listen to.
