Rega P3 RS, Michell TecnoDec, Avid Ingenium

I sold off my audio system several years ago after having lost my dedicated listening room to a home renovation (thaaaaat's right smiley).  I'm looking to build a new system at a relatively modest level and have been researching turntables in the $2000-$2500 range.  The three I've been most focused on are the Rega P3 RS, the Michell TecnoDec and the Avid Ingenium.  Needless to say it's difficult to listen to all of these turntables in person without traveling around the country, so I was hoping to tap into the collective knowledge of the forum.  If anyone has any opinions on how these turntables compare then I'd love to hear them.  

For reference, I've owned a Planar 3/RB300 in the distant past and really enjoyed it.  I subsequently went to a Linn LP12, then a VPI Aries/SDS/JMW-10 and finally a Basis 2500 Signature/Vector 3.  So, yeah, I'm kind of going backwards at this point but I've given myself a realistic budget and just want something relatively affordable and simple so that I can enjoy my LPs again.

Thanks in advance.

@viridian Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. 

I’ve been leaning towards the Rega - I doubt it would disappoint, but there’s something about the Michell that’s drawing me in.  I’d love to see/hear the TecnoDec in person but there’s no local dealer who has one.  If I decide to buy it’ll be a leap of faith.

Thanks again.

You might want to add this SOTA COMET VI to your list. It comes with a REGA tonearm. My friend just bought one and he raves about it. It fits your budget!
