I have an Acutus (ordering a new Acutus Reference these days) and find it difficult to understanding your problem with footfall. I have a suspended wood floor as well and have never had any problems crossing the floor, even if I can see the turntable move up and down when I step on the floor.
The platter should be parallell to the arm, but the older players had a higher "base" of the center spindel. I bought a new spindel for my turntable and the new one doesn't "bend" the LP as much, helping the LP stay parallell to the arm. (Sorry for my english).
