VPI paper alignment jig


I just took possession of a new VPI Classic.  The alignment jig that came with it is paper and really looks like an afterthought.  I set it on my table but it doesn't come close to fitting snuggly and doubt it would give me decent results.  I assume at this point the METAL ADJUSTABLE alignment jig I've see in the VPI set up video is a $60 option worth paying for.

I'm new at this any help would be appreciated.

I understand the metal VPI jig for the JMW 10/10.5 arms and the Mint LP protractors set the cartridges in very very very similar positions, just the Mint LP puts the needle point just a hair back, one the same forward/back line... has that been others’ experience as well (for those who have a VPI jig and also a Mint)?
