You also might wish to try one of the following platter mats as well. I have both of these presently and they are really quite superb.
Micro Seiki CU-180 (Gunmetal alloy - vintage)
Artisan Fidelity (Pure Copper)

I agree this is a critical part of the equation. Many more differences exist between these models though than just the torque output which affect playback.
Very curious what platter mat recommendations you have for the MK3?

I think the SP10MkIII is better than the new 10R because it has so much more torque. But a good deal of that was so it could be used for LP mastering and I suspect that was not their goal with the newer version.
