Will VPI's Classic 3 sound much better with a SUT?

I'm considering adding a SUT to my vinyl rig, which already sounds detailed and neutral which I prefer. I may add Bob Device's VPI specific SUT ($1,750).  It would replace the existing RCA junction box on the arm board, so no added cable needed. 

Please have you the same/similar SUT experience with your same/similar turntable?  What was the sonic result(s)? Thank you!

PS My vinyl rig in more detail: Ortofon Cadenza Black MC, VPI Reference wired 12" 3D tone arm, Tara Labs RCA cables to Fosgate "Signature" tube phone pre-amp, Tara Labs RCA cables to Unison Research "Unico" integrated amp, Nordost "Frey 2" speaker cables to Definitive Technology "BP2000" floor standing speakers.

o@vinylfun By adding a SUT there is also the addition of a Richness of Tonality.

Bob's Devices use Tranx that I believe will be ones that produce the lower on the scale Richness of Tone, as I use similar Cinemag Tranx' myself I can offer this as a a assessment of the end sound.

If the risks associated with adding Richness of Tone are wanted to be avoided, the use of  a Head Amp, the ones I have experienced in comparisons, will create a End Sound that in comparison to a SUT, does not create a detectable Richness to the Tonality.

I have one Phonostage I prefer the Head Amp in place of the Built In MC Input and a SUT as the Option.
