Nice choices, I am partial to a bit of DIY and these are in my price range to play.

The TD150 is a good table, thus tempting and the arm is nice. But I would want a different cartridge.

On the Sonograph I get all the acrylic, sort of an upgraded AR and I can still get new motors. Sound benefit , longevity and a Jelco arm will win the day. Ortofon VMS20EII with NOS stylus.

Technics is a great table as others noted but all the mods will cost too much. Sonograph with the acrylic is ahead here though the DD is better than the Hurst motor.

Decision is Sonographe, then TD150, then Technics. Throw a few KAB mods in and my decision will change.
