Rega RP10 & Aphelion cartridge

[Antonmb]

I'm in a position to do some upgrading and have been thinking about upgrading my Rega P9 and Sumiko Celebration II cartridge. I like the aesthetics of the P9 with its wood surround, so I talked to my dealer about swapping out the RB1000 arm for the RB2000 and trying Rega's new Aphelion, their top cartridge. The cartridge goes for about $5k and the tonearm for $2200. My dealer told me that the RB2000 would require modifying the plinth (larger hole) and came back with an offer for an RP10 table with Aphelion cartridge for $6500 with trade-in of my P9 and Celebration. I'm very, very tempted. Does anyone have any experience with the Aphelion or the RP10? Any other thoughts?
