I have a Herbie's on my Technics SP-15 and like it much better than the 1/4 inch one pound Technics rubber mat from my 1200 or the 1/8 half pound Technics rubber mat that's standard with the SP-15. Lowers the noise floor considerably, I'm guessing because it's more forgiving of minor warps. The Technics rubber mats are pretty hard.

As Johnnyb53 says, get the right thickness for your VTA range which, depending on your cartridge and arm, may or may not be 1/4 inch. Also, the Herbie's comes in different diameters, so make sure you get the right one for the 1200. My SP-15 takes a slightly smaller one than the 1200, and I was lucky to find one used.
