Hi, I am sure the p6 is better...but I come from the camp that you can't spend enough on the table/arm....if you can, I'd spring for best you can...
I have to agree with Jfrech here. If the P9 is too much, the P7 is a definite upgrade, grab one while you can. I've been down that road of putting a better cartridge on a weaker table, it's just a waste of money IMHO. You would be better served just buying some new LP's with that extra money.
