Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT?


My new Luxman PD-171 A TT weighs around 55 lbs. and it sits on a heavy audio stand. The floor is carpeted w/a cement base. Prior to this TT I had a Linn w/was much more sensitive and didn't need an additional stand. I wonder if adding an isolation platform would be beneficial to my current TT. I was looking at Butcher Block Acoustics and MDF W/Lead Core and Sorbothane Feet.

Am presently putting together my TT isolation package from Symposium. Interestingly enough the Segue Iso platform on 5 springs sits on a diy butcher block on 5/8" treaded brass rod. I've hesitated anchoring this to the wall even though I have angled straps that can be attached to the concrete wall through the sheetrock and the butcher block getting pretty good stability. 
Question is does the wobbly triple butcher block actually give me some isolation or should I strap it to the concrete wall? I have had some footfall problems but for the most part things have worked pretty well before the platform.
