Which is the best VPI Platter?

Shopping for a VPI table, and I read an article written by someone who believes VPI makes the tables that are as good as or better than any table available at any price. He opined that the VPI acrylic platter is a significant step down from the heavier "mixed material" platter on VPI turntables. Comments on this from experienced VPI owners?

I have had quite a few and from my experence and that of some of my friends I think that the SuperPlatter was probably the best but since I never heard all the ones I had on the same table it is hard to say for sure. I personally liked the acrylic better than the aluminum ones but others don't.

Opinions will vary, but based on my personal experience the best performing VPI platters are:

1) TNT Mk5 – 1/2 Delrin and 1/2 Sainless Steel
2) TNT Super Platter – 1/3 Delrin, 1/3 Stainless Steel, 1/3 Delrin
3) TNT Mk4 – 2/3 Delrin and 1/3 Stainless Steel
4) New Classic Aluminum platter
5) TNT Early Lead and Cork combinations
6) Frosted Acrylic
