I've got a HW19 MK III with a SAMA and SDS and I'm using a modified RB300 tonearm with drop counterweight and Cardas rewire.
It is a very good table outfitted this way and I'd put it up against any Scout that's for sure.
Like was said before, find a Mk IV and put a good arm on it, maybe even a JWM 9 Signature and you'd have a table that can last the ages. Though I do also recommend the SAMA and SDS. I bought all of my stuff used here on Agon and I have $1,250 into it.
Good Luck
