Another thing to think about is whether you want a suspension or not.
If you don't have a rock solid turntable stand, you might want to consider a turntable with a good suspension, such as a Basis.
I've owned three Basis tables and each has been a good bang for the buck table. My latest table, bought used for $6500, is a Basis 2500, with a Vector tonearm and a Dynavector XV-1S cartridge, with about 10 hours on it. I have rarely heard a table sound much better than this.
