Use of mats for VTA?

What do members think of using different thickness mats as a method of changing VTA? I have been doing this for while by ear, instead of using one of the Rega VTA adjusters for a RB 250 tonearm.I believe there is a loss of arm rigidity adding a VTA adjuster into the chain.

If you want to really fine tune VTA by this method, Ringmat sells a set of variable thickness VTA shims. Supposedly really good, as they should be for the fairly outlandish price.

How about sheets of mylar in varying thicknesses. Just cut them to shape yourself. Should cost next to nothing.
