I want to upgrade, But , to which table ?

I'm currently using a belt dr.Pioneer from the 70's.
I have mostly an R&R/Blues album collection. I have been thinking about stepping up to a serious table for a while and am ready to pull the trigger on either a VPI scout, or an Rega 5, or 7 if i can snag one for a good price. I was wondering what you guys would suggest, for my interest's and budget ($1500 or so). Cartridge budget about $500.
Thanks

Cubsfan ,You already have a phono stage,If you didn't you would not be able to use your Pioneer turntable.
What electronics do you have ??

Hi Cubsfan, Unlike your Pioneer TT I dont believe these tables include a tonearm.Unless you have an arm (which you didn't mention) your budget will be stretched.
You said you were also looking for a cartridge
No one can (or should)recommend a cartridge without knowing the tonearm it will be mounted to and the gain in the phono stage
Sorry its just not that simple.
Good luck with your team next year and good luck with your turntable selection
