VPI prime scout vs VPI scoutmaster?

I just wanted to say that I ended up going with the scoutmaster and can't wait till it arrives! I recently had the pleasure of listening to a friends super hi end equipment (Lamb, Focal Utopias, etc..). Long story short I asked if he'd do a comparison between vinyl and digital and was surprised that I actually preferred the vinyl on a more modest table mmf5.1 vs a really nice dac and transport that I can't remember the name of. I'm sure the Lamb phono amp helped but the dac/transport was something like 20k. So I hooked up my 30 year old Mitsubishi Lt22 w/Stanton 681eee and played a few second hand records and loved it! Not that it sounded a lot better than my ps audio dac/transport but it had a different more fluid/organic sound? Any ways just excited to get back into vinyl after a 20+ year break.

Yes the printed arm is a huge upgrade to the metal one....and the 2nd pivot is even a bigger upgrade.

after what I heard fro a scout with an aluminum platter I would be all over a scoutmaster.  Everyones tastes are different but the scoutmaster has to be incredible for the money.

One of the really cool things I'm learning  about the Scoutmaster and most Vpi tables is the amount of upgrades which are reported to make improvements in the already good performance. I'm not ready to invest in the 3d tone arm but the dual pivot assembly definitely looks interesting and possibly a second hand ring clamp and 300rpm "quieter" motor would make good affordable upgrades?
