Linn vs VPI?

I am planning to upgrade my current entry level Music Hall TT. I would like to get either a Linn LP 12 or some of the comparable VPI tables. Used not new.
It apperas to me that VPI is very highly regarded and people are very happy with VPI products. I also understand that Linn is on Stereophile recommended list of components for ever and essentially thes ame but greatly evolved product.

Any insight/first hand experience and tonearm/cartridge recommendadtion is more than welcome.

I had a Linn LP12 from 1988 or so until 2007 or so, when I compared it to a VPI Scout. I had done all the Linn upgrades, but I liked the Scout better. I sold the Scout when I heard the Amadeus, and that is quite a bit better than both, IMO. And for just $2850. And so I was able to sell the SDS, and Scout, and pocket some cash. Just like when I sold the Linn, and it's power supply, though I can't remember Linn's clever name for it...
Sound keeps going up, price keeps coming down. I like it!
