I'm not planning to buy new - at my budget it just doesn't seem like there's anything thats much good to be honest. It doesnt need to be super small (I have a vestax handytrax somewhere I think, If I need super compact!). Just a bit more shelf-friendly and less over-built than a technics.

Not sure there's much to recommend in that area. I've swapped out an SL1200 for a rega 3 but it's not much less space consuming than an SL1200 and you need to lift the platter to change speed. I suppose the vertical deck that project do might fit the bill.
There's a reason the SL1200 is a design classic..

You could look for a Linn Axis - compact, sounds nice, easy to set up, push button 45rpm.

Something like this Denon DP-29F is probably as small as you’re going to get new, outside of things like the Soundburger. Looks to be the same turntable at the Audio Technica LP-60, which you can get for more money than the Denon variant.
They’re not going send as nice as your Technics did though.
