Turntable

I am going to purchase a new turntable, it will have a solid hardwood plinth. It will come with  a OA2  gimbal tonearm, have a acrylic platter and a Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge. It comes with a felt mat, wondering if it would be fine to play records on just the acrylic with out the felt mat or should I use the felt mat provided

@flashcider - I place the record directly on the acrylic platter, BUT I also use a Thorens Stabilizer to prevent any slippage, which can occur on some albums, where the pressing is not quite PERFECT.

The benefits of the weight - a much "crisper" dynamic presentation
