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.

Not good at posting pics.
Here are some pics that show a 'naked', motor only SP10 MK3 mounted in a plinth built by a an engineer acquaintance, used stainless and brass, even built the tonearm:

Arm looks like a Clearaudio TT2. 

My biggest concern in plinthing these tables is the need for isolation. I have a springy floor- I cannot use my SP-10 upstairs, but it works fine downstairs, with a mass loaded "solid" base/plinth made of constrained layers of wood product. I did not do the Albert Porter thing, though have heard Albert’s set up a few times-- it is great. 

I needed to run a big Minus K bench top  to isolate my Kuzma XL upstairs from footfalls. I guess that would be a concern depending on the situs of the table.
