VPI Scout and Scout 1.1 Question

I know they went from acrylic platter to the aluminum platter on the Scout 1.1 My question is, is there really a difference in sound quality in music by upgrading from acrylic platter to the aluminum platter?

From the VPI website - The Super Platter is no longer being produced by VPI. It was excessively difficult to make, had issues with stability of the three layers, and could never be machined as accurately as the Classic Aluminum Platter. The Classic Aluminum Platter replaced it and is a better running design.
