VPI SCOUTMASTER UPGRADE TO ?

I currently have a VPI Scoutmaster and considering an upgrade. To go to the Super Scoutmaster which includes to the best of my knowledge the following: 1. HRX motor assembly, 2. Outer ring and inner clamp 3. SDS controller
Also I would consider the new JMW-9 signature Arm. The total cost of the above would be about $6000.00, about $3500.00 out of pocket to upgrade. Would I be better off
selling my Scoutmaster, take a loss and purchase something
else? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You can upgrade your Scoutmaster to the SuperSCoutMaster cheaper than that by retaining the original ScoutMaster plinth (which I actually prefer over the SSM shorter plinth) and upgrading with the new HRX single motor/flywheel combo which is $600 cheaper than the dual motor unit.

That upgrade path per Harry Weisfeld (VPI) gives you full SuperScoutMaster upgrade. The only difference is a tad slower start-up time for the platter to reach full speed. Giving the platter a little push to get it going VS $600 extra mullahs is a no brainer IMHO.
