The RP3 with elys 2 I have ordered is going to be delayed by a week or so due to some bearing issues or something, but my dealer has some new P3-24 for sale at £300. So I could get the P3-24 with the exact cartridge for the same price as the RP3 with the elys 2.

Am I been just impatient or is ther some merits in the P3-24 at the lower price with the better cartridge?

Any help/input would be appreciated.

Tricky! If it were my money I would hold out for the RP3.
In the end you have a better turntable - you can always upgrade cartridge at a later date.
Or indeed you could haggle with the dealer and see if he'll upgrade cartridge anyway -its worth a try.
 
For one week, I'd wait, though £300 is pretty good for a P3-24.

I saw a few go on ebay but most ended up at well over £300. If you go for the old model, don't pay full price for the Exact though. The Elys is £50 off when supplied at the same time, so you should be looking to pay £450 to £475 for P3-24 with an Exact fitted, not over £500.
