grab it. They regularly go for $450, and are the best of the entry level tables, with a good cartridge and tonearm, and adjustable VTA. With the Project RPM 1.3 you would probably want a dustcover which will be another $300 for an acrylic Pro-Ject Cover-It, or $20 for a nylon or cotton cover. I have used a 35 inch square silk handkerchief for a dust cover in the past. The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon ($399) is a much better table than the Pro-Ject Debut III.

The RP1 is a really nice table at $445 and is a little easier to set up than the Pro-ject Tables.  I would likely pair that with an Ortofon RED cartridge.  I don't have any experience with the Music Hall tables and can offer no opinion on them.  I do feel the RP1 is superior to the Debut Carbon. 

i just bought a rega rp1 a few days ago for about $440. took about 2 minutes to set up and sounds excellent.

edit - just noticed the date this thread was posted. i'm probably a little late...

Go for the recommended AT95E cartride (found on Thorens Td 309 $1800) , its $50. then grab a turntable Music Hall w/out
