Interesting choices. I understand the price of a 1200 has gone up since it was discontinued. NOS ones are going for $1K. I just took a look on Agon and there are a couple of interesting tables. There's a mint 1200 MK5 for $850. I've seen SP15 for around the same $. They often have old radio station arms which may or may not be appealing, but the deck itself is an upgrade from the 1200, depending on the plinth.

There was another ad that might look even better - a tricked out HW19.  http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?anlgtabl&1301618373&/VPI-HW-19-Mark-3

How about a Roksan? Looks sweet.

Decisions, decisions.
Have fun,
