My wallet ... when I have some :-)
My vinyl system is modest, well actually I have 2 systems and both are modest. Arm is technically included with both tables (SL1200 MK2 and Music Hall MMF5)
Probably ... roughly 50% table + arm, 40% stage, 10% cart, on both systems. But this wasnt planned. The carts are probably the limiting factors on both systems but Im happy with them (inexpensive vintage MM's or modern vintage-like MM's). The tables may be the second most limiting (depending on opinion, especially with the Technics). But I dont really care about "optimizing". In other words, I wont spend escalating amounts to evaluate different carts with any type of goal being to find the cart that pushes the table/arm to its performance limit. I wont do that with the table or stage either.
Im a music lover, that's all. If I like it, I like it. Im not on a quest to seek out and buy the best cart. that I can possibly afford or save up to buy that "ultimate" table or whatever the case. Im happy enough where I'm at and wants in other areas need attention too :-) Not to mention actual needs, which unfortunately, all too often, drag the attention away from all the wants.
