I've used the Behringer to set up a system for a friend and it's not bad, and you're certainly not out much if you upgrade it later.The Audio Technica model I linked to below is supposed to be phenomenal for the money and you might be able to get the seller to take less (they used to be on sale for ~$50).
Also, regarding the SL-QX300 table, it uses a P-mount cartridge meaning you won't have to fuss with cartridge alignment. You can put a new stylus on the included 3482P cartridge for about $20. In the future, this cartridge would be a big upgrade:

Of course, once you get hooked on vinyl, the upgrades never stop. :) One more thing to remember with vintage tables is how much you can end up getting for your money. The SL-QX300 retailed for $220. Adjust that for inflation and it would cost $435 today.
