VPI Scout or GEM Dandy PolyTable

Currently I have a Thorens TD-150 with a Rega RB-202 tonearm and 2M Bronze cart.
It is a great setup, but for 2017 I would like to upgrade my TT. Currently I am looking at either the VPI Scout or the GEM Dandy PolyTable with Jelco SA-750D Tonearm.

The PolyTable clocks in at $1795.
The VPI Scout clocks in at $2199.

Be interested to hear what everyone thinks.

Thanks!

Go with the Scout.  I have had mine for over 10 years and everytime I think about changing, I ask myself why.  The Scout is built to last a lifetime.

In all my years and 3 different VPI turntables, I never, ever had customer support problems with them.  They always answered the phone and made arrangements for me.  When I broke my cuing lever, Matt sent me a new one no charge, even though the turntable was 10 years old and was bought used.  To me, that is excellent customer service.
