Exactly Pryso, my feeling as well. VPI is continually pushing the envelope to improve their products. They are music lovers and audiophiles at the core. If you choose to upgrade to a new arm or platter, you can do so without having to get rid of your current table. If you choose not to upgrade, they will support older products as needed. No one is holding a gun to your head to upgrade or get a new table, that is your decision. I really like the flexibility VPI offers on older table.
I have a Super Scoutmaster I upgraded to different platters (original acrylic to Super Platter to current Classic with oil pumping inverted bearing), then rim drive, then to the 3D arm. I have no interest or urge in upgrading the table itself.
