Have a MMF-7 with the Eroica and a VPI Scout with the Grado Sonata. Am not sure how the table/arms fit into the picture, but the Grado/Scout is a significant upgrade - as it should be given the added expense. The Grado is much easier to listen to period, but on records that are slightly scratched, it covers up much much better. I was surprised at the difference. IMHO!
