Should I get an SL-1200G


I have a VPI Aires 3 with 10.5i tonearm and Dynavector XX2 Cartridge .
I purchased it new about 12 years ago .

I'm thinking of getting the new Technics SL-1200G Turntable .
I have another XX2 being retipped at Soundsmith and I will use it on the 1200G .
My question , Will the 1200g sound better or worst or lateral move ?

I am interested in trying a direct drive but only if it sounds better than my VPI .
Has anyone listened to the Aires 3 and 1200G ?

Any comments are appreciated.

Myself is interested in very casual listening of a few LP's. The 1500c with it's built in pre amp looks attractive. 
I was looking at the 1500c last week, For a few hundred more you get some really neat features in the next model up (1200GR?).
One problem: New 1500c made in China, but the SL1200GR and G made in Japan. 
One word of caution if you do buy the 1200, don't sell the Aries first as I believe you will realize you have taken a step or two or..... backwards. Just sayin.
Tooblue,

Have you listen to an Aries and SL1200G ?
Please explain your post .

If the 1200G is a step backwards than I won't buy one .
I may get an SP10 and make a plinth myself.
