I have a Basis 2001 with a Graham 2.2 I got used and had a VPI Classic at the same time. It was my impression and that of everyone else who heard them that the Basis was the better table. As it should be; look at the difference in cost. The current Basis which is almost identical to the 2001 is above $6000 without arm. Look what Graham arms cost now; AJ told me that he likes the 2.2 better on his tables than the current Phantom arms. You are comparing apples to oranges. Since I sell VPIs I am in no way prejudiced against them, the Classic is a very good table for the money and easy to work with but there are better tables for more money, some other VPIs included.
