Pro-ject Xtension 10 vs. VPI Prime vs. Amadeus

I have a Well Tempered Amadeus currently, which I have owned for 2 years, and been fairly happy. Just curious if one of these new high mass turntables would be an upgrade, and if so, which one?
Particularly interested in hearing from someone who has compared the Xtension 10 to the Prime.

Do you feel you have played enough with Damping (golf ball) cup, and VTA. Not trying to second guess, but it does make
a difference, as you are likely aware of.

I think $3,800 with tonearm is a reasonably priced rig. It's tough with analog. I have heard opinions on VPI Classic vs. Amadeus, and one dealer who had experience with VPI, Nottingham, and WTL. Its hard to draw a conclusion, because there's so many variables. Was cartridge the same, and then would that also hold true with a different cartridge. I would think the Prime would be easy to sell, plus have good resale value. I think that holds true with a standard Amadeus as well.
