I know this is an old thread. But I feel there is a new worthy mention to add to this discussion.
Project VS-C is now on the market! Cheaper than VPI 16.5, and to my thinking it's a better machine! I owned a 16.5 and liked it, but it got a bad leak. So I recently bought the VS-C and could not be happier! A very well made machine that solves many of the issues with the other brands. Solid, heavy and quality feel to it. And I can clean records faster with it!
I wrote a review of it in the review section if anyone cares to read it.
