Rega TT-PSU or new phono stage ?

I'm currently extremely happy with my new Rega P3-24/Exact2 combination, being driven through the built-in phono stage of my Rogue Audio Cronus integrated amplifier. The high output of the Exact 2 cartridge seems to match nicely with the 35 dB gain of the Rogue phono stage, and the whole set-up is singing some beautiful music (see my "System")

The next time I have an extra $375 laying around, what's the best "next step" .....should I buy the Rega TT-PSU external power supply or a comparably priced outboard phono stage and interconnect ? Let me hear some ideas from those of you who know what's going on.
Thanks a lot & Happy Listening.

Power supply. I don't believe that a $375 budget for phono stage and cable will get you significantly better sound than the Rogue which is pretty good. The PSU will assure speed stability and isolation from the AC which, I think, can really improve the tables already very good performance.
