Upgrading my Basis 2500. Vacuum or no Vacuum?

I am not only deciding between a Basis 2800 sig or Debut sig,
but also should I do a Vacuum. What have you heard as
the pros and cons of having the vacuum. My current 2500 is a
Non-signature with no calibrator base, but I do have the Vector 3 arm. I would probably add the calibrator base if
I go for one of these new tables. Im getting there, when I
do I will post my system here. As always, your help is highly
valued and appreciated.

I have not listened to a 2500. But I do own a 2800 Signature. I can tell you the 2800 Signature sounds fantastic to my ears. The Vector is a great arm also as you already know.

The vacuum has worked flawlessly in my system. Never an issue.

Put a record on the platter, place the vacuum clamp on the spindle, and turn on the vacuum controller. Any record whether it is 180 gram or 200 gram or anything else now becomes a 25 pound record!! Record and platter are now one large spinning mass.

I think you would be thrilled with a 2800 or a Debut with vacuum.
