Which is the best VPI Platter?

Shopping for a VPI table, and I read an article written by someone who believes VPI makes the tables that are as good as or better than any table available at any price. He opined that the VPI acrylic platter is a significant step down from the heavier "mixed material" platter on VPI turntables. Comments on this from experienced VPI owners?

Second Brf's list.

"As good or better than any table available at any price". As a
current TNT6/5 platter owner who has owned four other VPI models, I can
unequivocally say: No way! Good, but there are much better out there.

If you value black backgrounds, tonally dense images, a weightier sound,
and superior pitch stability, the heavier mixed material platters are better
than the acrylic.
