VPI Scout or GEM Dandy PolyTable

Currently I have a Thorens TD-150 with a Rega RB-202 tonearm and 2M Bronze cart.
It is a great setup, but for 2017 I would like to upgrade my TT. Currently I am looking at either the VPI Scout or the GEM Dandy PolyTable with Jelco SA-750D Tonearm.

The PolyTable clocks in at $1795.
The VPI Scout clocks in at $2199.

Be interested to hear what everyone thinks.

Thanks!

You may want to look at these. They use parts sourced by VPI to make a lovely product for 2500.00.

Rotarius, as the owner of several vintage turntables including a Technics SP-10MKIII, I tend to agree. But the Shinola is a well made 50lb turntable with a built in phono stage even though I prefer direct drive.
