Upgrading from Rega P5 TT


Looking to upgrade from a Rega P5.
Does it make sense to go from the P5 to the new P6.
Is this a latteral move?
Or do I have to go up the ladder to the P9 for better performance?

I have the GT Subplatter, counterweight
power supply
GCPH phono
10x5 Dynavector cart.

Maybe I should upgrade my cart, budget would be $800-1200
or
sell the P5 and pop for the P7.

I want to thank everyone for their input.
The P9 is out of my price range. I think the best bet for me is to upgrade the cart.
Dynavector 20x2L or Sheltar 501MK
I listen to rock and on the other side of the fence Sinatra and Elvis.
So I need a cart that convey a wide spectrum of music.
I have decided on getting the P7.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and input

The rega sound and easy set up is what I enjoy about them.
I don't like to fuss w/ a table, set up and play music.

Good advice, enjoy the music. Not everyone is going to agree on everything.
That's what makes this hobby fun.

Happy Holiday's!
After talking and looking at all the alternatives with my local dealer about the P7 and cart upgrade.
I deceided on getting the Dynavector DV-20XL. Getting a 20% discount by trading in my 10x5 and my dealer setting up the 20XL.
Got home put 20 hrs on the cart and I can say that I am extremely happy is an understatement.

Thanks to all for your input and views.
