European Vibraplane?


I was trying to find an EU analog of the Vibraplane and came across Iso-Plate from Thor Labs:

The specs look a bit worse then Vibraplane 2210 (resonant freq. is said to be at 3.5max vs 2.5Hz). The pricing, esp. without the breadboard is aceptable. I'm wondering if anyone has tried it?

Regarding Minus K, I have my TW sits on a platform on top of Minus K so aligning center of gravity on Minus K is a breeze even on unit like TW AC one where the motor stick out on one side. Regarding motion when moving tonearm, are you using your feet? Top platform on Minus K can move easily with enough force but seriously, moving a tonearm? May be if the whole turntable setup is 5 kg? I use a 100+ kg model as my TW+ Platform is just above 100kg. The amount of force to overcome the inertia is way way more than force require to move a tonearm. I certainly never notice any lateral movement on Minus K when I move tonearm in normal playing.

Never had a chance to compare to Vibraplane as it is not locally available and shipping from Europe or US would make it far more expensive than Minus K so that is not an option for me for now.
