I would also look at a Pro-Ject turntable, this one is just above your budget and has that very classic look. Pro-Ject tonearms are very good and include all adjustments including the critical azimuth. Rega tonearms cannot be adjusted for azimuth, you have to use spacers which is not too accurate, Rega are also known to run a tad fast too.
Just something else to consider......
Have fun!
