The VPI 16.5 is a very basic but in my opinion adequate RCM. Replacement parts are readily available and they (both unit and company) have a good track record with vinyl enthusiasts.
Its well worth it if you collect and play used LPs. To me its costs is easily justified when you can take a $1.99 LP, run it through a cleaning cycle and get as good...sometimes better...sound as the $19.99 new LP.
