If you feel like you need to upgrade the turntable you just got – without living with it for a while and deciding for yourself if and what flaws it has – I have to wonder why you bought it in the first place? Seems a bit puzzling to me to spend money on something you're not entirely happy with from the start.

This is an incredibly intelligent response!

@dwetteTotal disagree with your premise. I absolutely love a 95 Lynch Bages, and have a fair amount of it in my cellar. However, it doesn’t able me wonder if the 2000 or 89 vintage might be better or more enjoyable. If I’m asking  if a $300 upgrade would be a noticeable difference in my rig there is no harm or faul. Human nature to wonder if there is room for improvement in most aspects of life.  

That analogy makes little or no sense to me. Wine is a consumable. Just get all three vintages and compare. 

If I were you I would just live with what you have a for a while. Then if you still feel it's lacking try the Groovetracer upgrades.

I had a P3 once, and I added some Groovetracer upgrades, after about a year. That didn't really add all that much: it was somewhat better. I ended up selling it all to get a better turntable, which I had for 12+ years before upgrading again.

You'll void your warantee!
