You can't go wrong with either table, however, if you plan to go the VPI route, I would stick with their own excellent tonearms.

Fitting your RB600 on a Michell would be highly recommended...that's what I did! WARNING...if you do this, you may need spacers or a height adjustable spacer for an exact tonearm/cartridge mounting setup. This will depend on your choice of cartridge since the heights vary.

Have fun with your upgrade!
Also, if the table is going on a concrete floor, like in a basement or one with a slab foundation, then non-suspendeds generally are ok. If are on a 2nd floor, suspensions are usually a little better.

These are general statements and don't apply to every situation.
Both Great TT's, one goes the suspended route, the other mass dampening. I'm in the Vpi camp for good midbass and lower midrange, but I still oogle over the Gyro's! I honestly feel you could do no wrong with either. Some fellows swear by suspended tables only! However no matter what advice is given, you must hear both prior to a deaf online purchase. Good Luck, & let your own ears be the final judge!
