VTA and 180 gram vinyl

I have a Music Hall MMF-5. The VTA is adjutable, but it is a pain in the rear. I have started collecting a few jazz reissues on the 18o gram vinyl (with mixed results regarding quality). I am beginning to think that having 2 record mats at different thickness may be the easier solution to compensate for the VTA, rather than get my allen wrench every time. Has anyone tried this solution to the VTA issue for vinyl of different thickness?

I purchased an allen wrench with a screw driver handle, which makes the process much easier to adjust.

I don't know what your turntable arm looks like, but if is possible to mark the base of the arm with a decal of a pointer or arrow head for the size of a normal LP, than you have a defaut position to always return to if your not in the mood to mess with the VTA.

Unfortunately it can make a big difference, but it is a hassle.
