it was both of us.  My wife was intimidated by the turntable and wouldn’t use it at all, and I had to constantly play with the arm.  I bought the Scout used and I didn’t have as much of an adjustability problem with the Scout as with the Prime.   If the gimbaled arm was available at the time of purchase, I may have kept the Prime.  I said may because I would have still had the problem with my wife being intimidated by it.  
Regardless, we play lots of vinyl with the Technics now and we are both quite happy with it. 
I had a VPI Prime and could not stand the unipivot arm.  Every time I wanted to play a record, I had to constantly fiddle with the arm. The problem was it was always tilting to one side or the other no matter how many times I adjusted it.  I had the same problem wit the VPI Scout, but to a much less degree. I now own a Technics SL1200G and bye bye problems.

I too hate the 3D arm.  It feels quite cheesy and does not inspire confidence to the user.
