VPI upgrades question...

I was wondering what would be more benefitial or more bang for buck upgrade...
This kit for 899.00 which includes:
• Scoutmaster sandwiched double chassis with Scoutmaster logo and serial number
• Corner assemblies mounted with new Scout cone feet
• 1/2" thick tonearm riser assembly and 16 gauge black junction box support
• 300 rpm complete Scoutmaster motor assembly (only works with Scoutmaster, height is preset for double thick chassis)
• Scoutmaster large acrylic platter (allows use of HRX Periphery Ring Clamp)
• Inverted bearing assembly (same as used on the $10,000.00 HRX!)

or just get an SDS device...

My TT is sitting on heavy marble slab resting on a double pine board with rubber feet between them...cart is the DV-20

Jsujo, the upgrade from the Scout to the Scoutmaster is very significant and well worth doing. Slipknot1 made this upgrade in recent months and the improvement in his system was very rewarding. If he doesn't chime in here, I'm sure he'd be happy to talk with you about his experience if you email him.

I'd recommend doing the Scoutmaster upgrade before the motor controller. The motor controller should be you next upgrade after the Scoutmaster. For the motor controller, the SDS is good, and you could consider a used Walker Audio motor controller for even greater improvement. But, do the Scoutmaster upgrade first.
