Heaver grade vinyl vs Standard


I am new to vinyl and I am in process of buying a scout. I was wondering was peoples thoughts were about reissued 180-200 gram vinyl. Ive read that it depends on the a number of things (pressing, recording, turntable) but in general who thinks its worth it to spend 20-30 dollars more?

180 & 200 gm vinyl must be the biggest marketing scam of all time originally started by Mobile Fidelity. Outside CD's of course :-)

I have 1000's of standard 120gm vinyl that sounds wonderful.

the weight or thickness of the vinyl has NOTHING to do with the sound quality of the record. That as most posters have said depends on the quality of the recording and what type of master they have used to press the record.
