I've covered both bases, Chris, with the same spend ;)
In response to the OP's question:
Well, it seems we're in the same part of the woods cost-wise..
I would try and fit within £2000 or thereabout.
Not really sure where i would put my money though, but beginning with the PU i'd opt for a Benz Micro Glider/Wood SL.
As for the arm, a Rega or their tweaked brethren would probably be the most cost effective solution without sacrificing too much real world performance.
The TT itself might be a Michell TecnoDec, Hanss Acoustics T-10 or perhaps one of the newer Rega's.
To me this where the sweetspot in turntable performance vs. cost lies...
But, after all, it's always a question of disposable income in relation the other parts of your kit.

I paid about £8000 used about 20 years ago for the turntable I use now. I couldn't afford to do that any more, I retired :-(
So I have zero budget for a new turntable.
i'd probably go for something made by EMT making sure it was in mint nick, so £10K and then that would be it for me. No more decks, honest :rolleyes: ;)
