RT82 is a fantastic table. Listening to it right now, as a matter of fact. It's got a few killer features over the RT81, but honestly, as a beginner, it's nothing you're gonna really notice. The thing to keep in mind with the 82 is that it has no preamp on-board, so you either need an external preamp, which'll cost you anywhere from a cheap $20 model on Amazon to the $100 Fluance Preamp they'll be happy to sell you along with the table, or else you need an amplifier with a dedicated Phono input. The 81 has a built in preamp, as does the Audio Technica.
Honestly, if you're new to this whole thing? Get the RT80, which I also have, and is also fantastic. Use that extra hundred bucks or so to buy more records.
I absolutely do. The LP60 is fine, I had one myself years ago, but it doesn't compare to any Fluance in the lineup. The Fluance has a removable headshell, an adjustable counterweight and anti-skate. It's heavier, the preamp's better, and it's got an accessible ground screw. None of this probably means much to you now, but if you stick with the hobby, it will, and you'll figure out how much better it is to have most of this stuff.
The Fluance, like virtually all mid-range to high end tables, doesn't have auto-start where you just push the button to start an LP, but that always took some of the fun out of the process to me anyway. I honestly can't imagine a single scenario where I'd pick an LP60 over an RT80.
