First Turntable Inquiry. Rega, Music Hall, or Goldring??

I'll be purchasing my first turntable, but am undecided between three models from three different manufacturers:
Goldring GR 1.2
Music Hall MMF 2.1
Rega P1
Which would you suggest over the others?

Goldring GR 1.2 has a slightly better cartridge than the Music Hall 2.1 and substantially better than the Rega P1. Other than that they all have adequate tonearms, platters (Music Hall 2.1 has an alloy platter the other two MDF platters) and plinths.

LP Gear has an improved version of the Goldring GR 1.2 for the same price as the others.

Have u considered Project? Their latest arm seems outstanding

What about a suspended table? Used Systemdeks (IIX) can be gooten for a great price

I have Project RPM6 for couple of years now and I'm still amazed by its incredible sound! Project is worth considering indeed.
