VPI HW-19 Jr. Upgrade


I am considering upgrading my VPI 19 Jr. w/AQ PT-6.
I've narrowed it down as the followings.

1. Upgrade my Jr. to the Mk4
2. Put the Scout platter and bearing on my JR
3. Upgrade to the Scout/JMW-9 and sell my JR./PT-6
4. Change JMW 10 Tonearm

What is my best bet in upgrading from my Jr.?
What kind of sonic improvement can I expect?

It would be very appreciate if you give me an advice.
Any other suggestions are welcome too.

I started with a Jr. w) PT-6 arm and an Ortofon (don't remember model number) cartridge. Upgraded to a Mk III and finally a Mk IV. Still have the PT-6 arm but now use a Sumiko Blue Point Special cartridge. Sounds great --- although the turntable guru at my dealer tells me I really should upgrade the arm. Maybe someday, but for right now I'm more than satisfied.
