I want to upgrade my Turntable to something heavier

I am about to retire from work. I would like to upgrade my turntable before I do this. I have a Pro-Ject, which I like a lot, but I have two big dogs. I have been considering something 1) heavier and 2) balanced. I have SourcePoint 10 Speakers driven by a PS Audio Stellar Amp. The Stelkar also offers Balanced inputs. 

I am leaning towards the Pro-Ject X8 as being a good price with room for a better cartridge. I have considered VPI, but I don't care about upgrading. Once I am retired, this is it. Ideas or Suggestions?

May be a used Dr. Feichert Volare. 
And a balanced phono stage I assume that’s what you meant?

The dogs stay - one is my nephew's and will leave with him. And yes, a balanced phono stage but I am not sure how important that is in the grand scheme of things.

I moved from a VPI Prime 21 to Acoustic Solid out of Germany. It was less money and performs better and made to a much to a higher standard. Acoustic Solid has a large selection as well.
