VPI Scout or GEM Dandy PolyTable

Currently I have a Thorens TD-150 with a Rega RB-202 tonearm and 2M Bronze cart.
It is a great setup, but for 2017 I would like to upgrade my TT. Currently I am looking at either the VPI Scout or the GEM Dandy PolyTable with Jelco SA-750D Tonearm.

The PolyTable clocks in at $1795.
The VPI Scout clocks in at $2199.

Be interested to hear what everyone thinks.

Thanks!

Scout no doubt. How much does the Polytable weigh? The Scout is a solid table with excellent build quality and components. Can't go wrong and consider resale value.

Go with the Scout.  I have had mine for over 10 years and everytime I think about changing, I ask myself why.  The Scout is built to last a lifetime.

Any reason to not look at the Scout Jr. As an option?

I would upgrade and modify the 150 and you'll have a table that will be as good and maybe better than both. However, if you must part it either table is nice and should be auditioned. 

Btw, f you want to sell your 150, contact me.
