" At USD$30K in the UK". Yes but a lot of that (20%) is tax. The equivalent US price equivalent is $24K ( plus local taxes where applicable). However I'll bet that the actual US price will be more than just the UK equivalent. Maybe keeping that AR spinner would have been wise indeed.

As much as I have fond memories of my old LP12 I would need to think very deeply about spending that much on a new one, no matter how much it had been improved, given the current competition. BTW my LP12 ( without arm or cart) was 160 gbp inc. tax ($220), list price, in 1974. Adding inflation up to Y/E 2020 brings it to.... 1700 gbp ($2340).
