I had a VPI 16.5 and thought it was a good cleaner. I prefered it to the Nitty Gritty cleaners. After several years with the 16.5 I sold it and bought a SOTA LPC which is a better built and more versitile machine.
A friend bought a VPI 17 which I had the chance to use, after using it a few times I sold my Sota and bought a VPI 17 and after nearly a month of use I think it is fantastic. It cleans much better than the 16.5, works faster and is MUCH quieter.
It would be worth the upgrade.
