Turntables: $10 - 12K -Suggestions

I'm considering purchase of a 'table (incl. pickup arm and cartridge) in the above price range. I'm fully aware that ultimate choice will depend on sound preferences, system synergy, etc. However, other considerations include reliability, after-sales service, ease of installation, etc. 'Tables I've considered have been mainly British (SME-20, Simon Yorke, Linn). However, I'm not alt all familiar with many of the American pieces and would greatly welcome your expert advice. Thanks!
