Ok, so... picked up the TT today.  The fine folks at Needle Doctor sold me a floor model Pro-Ject 1Xpression III for $350.  Not bad!!  So my $700 goal might actually still happen - or come close.
 
Now I just need to decide on "the other stuff."  A reminder - this is for a small office, and I'll be listening to headphones more than anything else.  Tardcore had suggested looking at Schiit headphone amps, and I like what I see.  Also, eventually, I think I'll pick up a DAC so I can listen to music from my MacBook.
 
So - three options, please help me decide what makes the most sense (or what you'd do):

1) Phono Stage (Schiit Mani or other suggestions?) +
Schiit Magni Uber (or Asgard, there's a used one on my local Craigslist - is the Asgard a much wiser choice for a guy with ATH-m40X's?) +
Powered speakers (the ones I'm leaning towards, for budgetary reasons, are the new Micca powered speakers which are getting great reviews)
$380

2) Bellari VP130 +
Powered Speakers (I see the downfall to this setup as being tougher to integrate a DAC in at some point - true or no?)
$375

3) Integrated Amp with Phono Stage (examples: Marantz PM5004 or NAD 3120, among others)
Passive speakers (Andrew Jones Pioneers are what I'd probably get)
$380 if I got a refurbed Marantz 

Thanks again for all of your help guys!!  Really appreciate it!

I should ding you for copyright infringement on the tread title.  But $150K is a lot funnier than $700.  

rad... glad we know they work out for sure now.
