IMO the best buy for a DD turntable under $1,000 is a Luxman PD-121 or PD-131. Pair that w/ a Micro Seiki MA-505 MkII tonearm and you are in the game.
Honorable mention goes to the Teac TN-400, a great little deck that requires a plinth and tonearm. They are reasonably priced and feature a very quiet drive.
The SP10 Mk2 is a great deck, but for $1,000 these days you are probably going to find a unit that has had hard use at a radio station or needs repair. They are also big, when you consider the external PS and the need for a plinth of some kind.
There are lots of other great DD decks out there.
