currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade


I have had a scout for about 5 years and I am looking to upgrade. I have heard the vpi classic and although it sounds decent, I am not sure it necessarily sounds better or better enough to my ears. How much do,I have to spend to see a,significant difference? I have not heard many tables because there are not many available locally. Any suggestions would,be appreciated.

I would go with a different manufacturer.
I went from a loaded Scoutmaster to Aries 3 with the 3D arm. I stayed with VPI because I already had all the extras: outer ring, center weight, TNT feet, SDS controller.
I'm not impressed with the upgrade.
Now I'm doing what I should have; I'm getting rid of the whole VPI rig & start fresh.
I heard a great vinyl setup at the Capital Audio Fest based on the TW Raven GT. But I'm also partial to the Clearaudio Innovation Compact because it is 3 speed and accepts two arms.
