Heaver grade vinyl vs Standard


I am new to vinyl and I am in process of buying a scout. I was wondering was peoples thoughts were about reissued 180-200 gram vinyl. Ive read that it depends on the a number of things (pressing, recording, turntable) but in general who thinks its worth it to spend 20-30 dollars more?

At least when you buy 180g or 200g there are, in most cases, 2 albums instead of 1 to show for your money.

Hold the phone. If you are talking about 45 rpm re-issues, that is an entirely different ballgame. To me, nothing - not even SACD versions of albums - sound as good as the handful of 45 rpm re-issues I have.

If you aren't talking about 45 rpm, what 33 rpm re-issues are spreading the album over two records instead of one? The only thing can think of are the Radiohead 10' albums (which, why not make them 12' 45 rpm and up the fidelity - baffling).

Just curious.
