Tonearm with removable head-shell

I am looking for a TT which can accommodate a tonearm with removable head-shell. Why? I have no confidence that I could ever replace a cart on my own and have no hifi shops where I live so I'd like to be able to send just the head-shell to a dealer who can replace a cart when the time comes w/o having to ship the entire TT.

Budget is 1500, or so, sans cart.

Ideas welcomed.

In addition to just a headshell, there are several arms that
the "wand" is removable. VPI is one.

Music Direct has a new limited time special edition VPI
"Scout SE" that looks really nice and is only $1395.00.
That would be my recommendation.

Also, remember without the complete turntable it will be
almost impossible to setup and align a cartridge correctly.
