New aftermarket plinth for Technics SP 10 MK2/MK3/R from Acoustand

Very interesting aftermarket plinth newly offered by Acoustand.
Has up to 3-arm capability.
I have a mint SP10 MK3 with factory plinth that has all the JP Jones upgrades and have been looking for an aftermarket multi-arm capable plinth for years.
Pricing seems fair, considering the hobby.

Would like to know what others thoughts are on the design.

Rich, I looked at the web page.  The plinths are well made and I like the idea of the bamboo spacers.  These plinths with the recommended footers are almost certainly superior to the OEM plinths.  I only wonder whether VTA adjustment is going to be difficult with some tonearms, because the arm mounts appear to be flush with the surface of the plinth, which means the escutcheon surrounding all the SP TTs raises the platter surface to the point where you may not be able to level the tonearm. But you can figure that out with their help before purchase.
