Turntable Mat question

I read a turntable Mat comparison which mentioned that although there are many different choices,
some audiophiles will use LP Records as a mat
What is your opinion about this ?

Atmosphere ...I would like to ask you about using record for record mat. You said that using an LP for record mat is trickier but should be the same hardness as traditional record mat. I have tried it ...sounds good. Am I losing anything sound wise ? Thanks Ralph

I have : Technics SL 1600 Pioneer PL 122D belt drive Yamaha P350 Rotel RP 9400 I read this article about Mats which stated that LP Records were being used for mats and this surprised me....this is the reason for my post asking for opinions .
