401 birch or slate?

What sounds better as a plinth for a Garrard 401? Birch ply or 30mm slate?

The brass kit looks serious along with the price. Shaun D. at Peak HiFi told me the brass lends a warmer and more organic sound. I'm happy with the aluminium but would like to try the stainless steel.

Use it upstairs in a small plinth with a 9" arm for background music, or build another 12" and load it up with the good stuff. What type of plinth? Panzer, bamboo, quartz, slate, open skeletal etc?

It will be interesting to try the slightly bigger and heavier PAC platter that's on order over the SMD one on it currently. PAC - 317mm +900grams SMD - 304mm +420 grams
