Scout w/Signature arm or Scoumaster w/standard ar

I'm looking at replacing my 30 year old Dennon tt with either a Scout with the Signature jmw 9 arm or a Scoutmaster with the standard jmw 9 arm. Which would be a better starting point?

I'm trying to stay in the sub $2000 range for a used tt.

thanks in advance

You can upgrade the VPI Scout/Scoutmaster from any point, but I'd recommend getting the best foundation first, which for me would be the turntable itself. Then look to upgrade the arm or add a motor controller (SDS or Walker) later.

Bottom line for me: start with the Scoutmaster and regular arm, then add a motor controller, then upgrade the arm. The regular arm is already very good.
