... and Funk Firm, J.A. Michell Tecnodec with Tecnoarm, Music Hall MMF 9.1, Pro-Ject 9.1... The list keeps getting bigger and the items keep getting better.

I'd opt for new. There are a dozen good candidates with up-to-date engineering and materials: Rega P5, Clearaudio Emotion, Marantz 15, VPI Scout, etc.
And if you're a real rebel, Technics SL-1200 w/Kab outboard power supply, threaded spindle and clamp, Origin Live Technics/Rega armboard and OL-1 tonearm with all mods (or the Silver tonearm), and Mapleshade threaded heavyfeet.
