The old (non anti-static) mat used for the Classic platter would cling to the record when it was lifted off...the new anti-static mat (from 3M) stays on the platter. They both sound exactly the same.
One other option for killing static is to add a ground wire to the bearing nut (if you can get to it - not sure you can with a Classic). I added a ground wire to my Scout 2's bearing nut and most static has disappeared. VPI agreed grounding the bearing should help with static.
