Vpi Aries 1-3 difference between tables?

What are the big sound differences between the various Vpi Aries tables 1-3 given the same Vpi tonearm and cartridge? I really like the Aries 3 but it's a ton of money, even used. But the older models look to be great as well? Any thoughts? I have a vintage late 80's Sota Sapphire with an Sumiko FT-3 tonearm. Thinking of a possible upgrade? Or, maybe my table is just fine?

Here is a link that covers why Aries I and 10.5 is better. http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-Tables.html

If you have not read any of Sal's stuff, it could take you weeks to cover it all.

I've found Sal to be pretty much right on, equipment and recording wise.

Sal's comments on VPI platters are worth considering.

One of my tables is an Aries I/10.5. I also have an extended Aries III, with a 12.7 arm
