Seeking Legit Cartridge Expert?

VPI offering me a trade in on my Unipivot to get a 3D Fatboy Gimbal for around $2900 …thoughts folks ? 
My thought is improved stability and absorbs vibration better , I like those angles ..

thanks 

I'd spend half of that amount and just get a "better" cart.

Your setup just needs to be optimized.

I've heard VERY NICE  VPI setups with $5k+ /unipivot.

@tablejockey 

There must be something to the Gimbal , VPI now shipping all turntables with Gimbals instead of Uni Pivots...thanks 

I think HW said he heard no difference between the gimbal and uni-pivot.

The difference I think is in the arm construction/thickness.

Some folks just don't get the uni-pivot.

@theflattire 

pardon my ignorance , HW?

Seconding Brian Walsh, very knowledgeable and a super nice guy to boot.

A unipivot bearing is physically quite different from a gimbal bearing. That’s plain to see. Whether one can hear a difference between two otherwise identical tonearms that is purely due to the type of bearing is up to the listener. I’m surprised if HW really can’t hear the difference. I think he has to say that to keep the peace.

OP the Hana SL is spectacular on Rock. I prefer it than my ML.The SL is a very exciting cart for Rock , Iam using VPI tt as well.

Brian is a very cool nice guy, when I bought my TT no one wants to help in the store where  I bought it. Brian step up and help.Brian I will never forget that. Since then I bought 2 more TT ? SME 10  at acoustic sound with Hana ML , and VPI prime scout from upscale audio.when I change my cart Brian will do tt for me. We live 40 min from each other.
