Scout vs. P5

I am currently trying to decide b/w purhasing either a VPI Scout or a Rega P5. Both fit within my alotted budget, but from what I read, it seems both tables employ different methodolgies when it comes to improving playback, i.e. the Rega being a "closed" system.

At the moment, I am using a rotel pre-amp/amp combination and B&W 704s.

Any insight regarding the pro's and con's b/w the two TTs would be appreciated.

Also, any cartridge recommendations?

I am interested in the Dyna 10x5 and 20xH if I go the VPI route, but unsure of what pairs well with the Rega.

My only concern is at the current moment, a VPI scout w/ dynavector 10x5 would be "too much table" for my system. Would I be able to reap the benefits given my current set up?

That said, I am using this opportunity to begin assembling my first quality hi-fi set up and would like to begin with the TT.....

What about Grado Sonata or Platinum (high output in either model)?
