HEAVY Platters. Metal or Plastic? Your personal Experiences


I'm looking for a friend, new and used. Aside from everything else:

Various platters, heavier, a bit heavier, a bit thicker, all plastic, metal, plastic/metal sandwich.

Please share your personal experiences, or familiarity with a close friend's TT.

thanks, as always!!

I bought a beautiful Woodsong Garrard 301. It came with a Tenuto gun metal mat.

Think it added several pounds to the machined Woodsong platter.

The Tenuto mat was outperformed by a Oracle acrylic mat. Which is now outperformed by my current titanium impregnated Oyaide mat. 
My understanding about mass of a platter is highly dependent on the overall design of the motor and TT.
