Rega, Music Hall or VPI

After reading tons of reviews and several threads I've narrowed my turntable options and would like some personal recommendations as this will be my first decent turntable.

I'm considering the following new:

Rega RP1
Music Hall MMF 2.2

The following used:

Rega P2 or an older version P3
Music Hall MM5 or similar
VPI HW-19 or similar

I would consider spending a bit more if I could find a good deal on a used Clearaudio Emotion.

Trying to avoid having to buy a cartridge but would do so for the right deal.

Thanks for the help.
