VTA and 180 gram vinyl

I have a Music Hall MMF-5. The VTA is adjutable, but it is a pain in the rear. I have started collecting a few jazz reissues on the 18o gram vinyl (with mixed results regarding quality). I am beginning to think that having 2 record mats at different thickness may be the easier solution to compensate for the VTA, rather than get my allen wrench every time. Has anyone tried this solution to the VTA issue for vinyl of different thickness?

I know what you have to go through to adjust VTA, Billbo. I used to own a MMF 7.

Enjoy,

You can try swapping or adding mats. That is certainly an option. But don't be surprised if some of the 180's still sound kind'a off. Many times it really is the record.
