VPI HW-16.5 vs HW-17 record cleaning machines

I now have a VPI HW-16.5 that I bought new a couple of years ago. I really like it; it's well worth the $$. But I've seen a couple of used HW-17's for sale recently, & I'm wondering if it's worth it to upgrade. And does anyone know about various "vintages" of the HW-17? I believe it's been produced since 1984. Thanks in advance for any advice!

You should check out the discussion archive here on Audiogon referring to "RRL" vinyl cleaning solutions. These made the records cleaned on my 16.5 sound the best ever.
Completely compatible with either the 16.5, or the 17.
