Opinions on the Oracle Delphi V's performance?

Anyone with an opinion to offer on the performance of the Oracle Delphi V turntable? I'm also considering a VPI Scoutmaster and was wondering which turntable is better. Thanks

In my auditioning it was darker (perhaps due to the suspension choices), but frankly, this could also be due to cartridge and arm choice. Scoutmaster has recenlty been upgraded, so perhaps R&D is more current?

IMHO the cart and phono stage interaction are 80% of the sound of a record player, so I dont think this bears huge implication on the comparison. I think the Delphi is one of the most beautifully built turn tables available.
