Rega 25 or VPI Scout

I'm new to analog and am planning on buying a table soon. I'm trying to decide whether to buy a new Scout for $1600 or a used Rega P25 at around $800-$1000. My other equipment is pretty decent:
Audible Illusions L1 preamp
CJ Premiere 11A amp
Sonus Faber Elekta Amator II speakers
Muse DAC and transport

I'd have to buy a phono preamp. Does the Scout get me to a whole new level than the P25? Thanks in advance for your responses. I'm new to audiogon and i love it thus far!

I have owned both and the Scout to my ears is better. It isn't as raw and pacey as the 25 but it is more natural and has a better sense of weight and space. Sonically I think the VPI does everything the 25 does and adds better bass, better soundstaging and a more natural midrange.
