Upgrade LP12 or buy new VPI?

OK,
I have an LP12 that I have owned for 10+ years. It is the basic model. I am getting back into analog and was wondering should I upgrade my LP12 or just buy a new table? I have a friend who has suggested the VPI Super Scoutmaster so that is at the top of my list. So if you guys/gals where in my dilemma what would you do?

1. Upgrade LP12?
2. Buy VPI SSM?
3. Buy VPI TNT 6?

I will be paring the player with an Aesthetix Rhea Phono. Cartridge is to be determined as well.

Thanks...

Dear Bryans: I agree with Dan and Thomas: go for a better table.

The best times of the LP12 are already past/over, with all its up-grades, the design is exahusted.

I think that you have to look elsewhere like: Galibier, Acoustic Signature, Simon Yorke, etc, etc, now it depends too which your budget for it. You have to choose too for a cartridge/tonearm combo that fit your music priorities/budget.

Regards and enjoy the music.
