Vintage TT - looking to add one - recommendations?

I have a Denon DP-45F table mated to a Denon DL-301MKII - love it!!

I am going to keep my eyes open for a second deck and wondering if you have any strong recommendations. I like direct drive tables and it needs to at the least have an automatic return.
With some health issues the need for the table to end on its own is important. It doesn't need to return even or turn off....just lift!!

A step up would be nice. I would consider belt driven too. I'm open!!

I am thinking a Denon DP59L maybe. Any other decks you would have me consider?

Thanks in advance for your input. I appreciate it.

No post 1st time. Let's try this again.
I have a 33 year old Yamaha YP-D8, which I love.
Rock solid build with auto shutoff, built-in strobe and hinged dust cover. While I might supplement it with a second TT one day, I would not be likely to part with the Yamaha.

I own a Yamaha PX-2 and a PX-3. They are linear trackers, direct drive and really do a good job for me. I like the PX-2 better since it has a heavier platter and better feet, but I would recommend them both.

The Denon 47F would be a good addition. I've a couple and have given them as gifts to my kids to get them interested in vinyl. The are a 'no fuss' entry to great music.

It would help a lot if you would give a price range. Any of the tables mentioned, including your own, can be bettered, if more bucks are involved.
