Linn lp 12 upgrade or new TT ? please help.

I have a used sondeck lp 12, vahala power supply, akito II
arm, K 18 II linn cartridge.
Am considering upgarding the pl 12 with, new alluminum subchashissis, $900.00, new springs and perhaps the hurculies power supply. ps, is $300.00.
OR purchasing a New TT, around $1300.00 to $1700.00.
Can I buy a better sounding table for thus outlay of $$$ ?
Or should I upgrade the Linn?

Please if anyone has experience with this, I am thankful.
Alan.

I have a Linn LP12 with a lingo, circa 1990. It has a Rega RB300 and Lyra Dorian cartridge. I heard it against similar rigs with Trampoline and Cirkus. Mine had much more feeling. I think Linn upgrades sound better with their crappy solid state electronics. With tube gear I like the old LP12, plus lingo. Just my opinion.
