Walker or VPI motor controller with scoutmaster?

I currently own a scoutmaster with super platter. I am considering purchasing either the Walker or VPI motor controller. I tested the speed on my turntable using a strobe and the turntable operates at the correct speed. In addition, my turntable is plugged into an isolated wall socket that is on a separate circuit from the rest of my audio equipment. In addition, I only have 33 rpm records.

I am not sure the Walker or VPI motor controller would benefit my system.

Is there anyone with a similar setup that has tried either the Walker or VPI motor controller? I would like to know, if anyone with a similar setup has experienced any benefit from either a Walker or VPI motor controller.

I am puzzled by your statement that the Walker "holds speed over a longer period of time". Does the actual output frequency of the VPI unit drift over time?

I can see no other mechanism causing the effect you have observed

The major determinants of speed stability with belt TTs are mechanical and are therefore independent of the setting of the controller.
