Rega Rp8 vs VPI Aries 2 Black Night

Hi all,
I have the chance of buying (without demoing, though) the two TT of the title, more or less at the same price. Rega is an ex-demo, VPI preowned.
I now own Project RPM9.1x with a "ground-it" pad and speed box, that makes it similar to a Project RPM10.
Cartridge is a Lyra Delos.

I would like to have some comments on the two TT above, which one you prefer and why, or even just their "sonic signature", differences between the two, and so on.

thanks, ciao
Daniele

Actually nothing in particular, but I'd like to try un upgrade; moreover, I'm afraid the TT is the relatively weak link of the chain: I feel both the Delos and my Klyne phonostage may deserve something better to fully express their potentiality. and I may like to explore some better carts & phonostages without a bottleneck in the TT (assuming the Project is: is it ??).

maybe you think that neither RP8 nor Aries 2 would be an upgrade to the "modded" RPM9.1x ?
my guess was that both would be a step forward, but if not so, saving money is never bad.
