Can you tell us more about the rest of your system: your speakers, your room and what type of music you typically listen to?
I would wait until I had more money to spend, maybe just a $1,000 will open up a whole world of choices and something newer and maybe better quality.
I definitely think a ST-70 is the way to go, but I'm biased as I'm still using two of them. If you go that route, it's also a great introduction into the world of modification/DIY. If you find one for cheap with the original circuit, the bass response improves dramatically by simply adding capacitance (in the right spot). Good luck with the search.
