I know it's a fundamentally silly question to ask, as it's horses for courses. Alas, it's the simplest way to approach any topic of purchase.
I listen to a lot of music of all genres, but I'm more picky about machine longevity and ergonomics rather than audiophile levels of obsessiveness.
I'm liking the ethos behind the Rega. Traditional design with good engineering behind it.
The Elemental is tempting, but the form factor doesn't really float my boat. Looks delicate and I'm not.Will dig into the Rega

Over budget but here is a nice Planar 3 with a good tonearm, complete with Bias cartridge and phono stage:

I’m well satisfied with my Planar 1, came with an upgraded stylus but even the basic should do. Doesn’t count for much but I think it’s simple design is handsome too.

Entry level means different things to different people. If you could go to £250, you probably want to use the Rega Planar 1 as a benchmark and see if you think saving up to £100 by getting a Project Elemental is really a good long term plan.
