new "heavy platter" for VPI HR-X?

I am sure most HRX fans have read Arthur Salvatore's comments on the VPI HRX. Now it seems VPI offers an upgraded platter to address this controversy.
Unusually...or not... there is nothing presently on VPI's web site about it. But there is an ad for the platter on elusive disc's site:

So my question is, other than Arthur's "associate" (whom I have spoken to at length) has anyone out there heard this platter?
Comments?
Thanks
