Keep the original Aries. Heard now and Aries, Aries 3 and Classic 1 and Classic 2 compared head to head in same system with same cart. No contest - both Aries were superior in about every category. Newer not always better - especially with VPI.
Original VPI Aries vs VPI classic 3
I currently have an original Vpi Aries and it works just fine. I was just thinking about upgrading tables and I have been looking at the Vpi classic 3. I'm wondering if this is worth the upgrade. I can get around 1800.00 for my table so I'm looking at spending about 4000.00 to get the classic 3.
