The interest in the SP10 MkII Globally is one that will continue with a very long future.
Even more so that there is an SP10 R available.
I can assure the OP they can 'if desired' get a SP10 MkII to perform extremely close to the performance of the SP10 R, for a lesser outlay once they are in possession of an SP10 MkII.
Where there will be divisions is when the Tonearm and Cartridge choices are being made.
It can be quite difficult to discover individuals mimicking each other in these choices.
The days are no longer with us, where the HiFi Media had been taking on the role of producing a TT Set Up and beating the Drum for it, where all recommendations 'led to' and are 'compared to' their very supported choice.
The users of a Vinyl Source are much more careful about the choices being made today, some of this is experience related, budget constraints or being wed to certain type of sound, there are others in the mix as well.
A SP10 MkII will certainly produce a unique presentation and if one is wed to that type of Sound Quality then how lucky one is that it is available for a very reasonable outlay.
Looking at previous supplied images and the image in the link of the SP10 used in Broadcast,
I can't see anything in the images that would suggest there was an avoidance to mount them in a purpose built dedicated mounting.
I feel confident the Designs for the mounting incorporated Isolation Methods.
A Wall Shelf and Sub Plinths in my view is a cost effective way to mount a TT and offer a very good method to Isolate the TT from the ambient environment.
As there is a common theme on the Analogue Threads on this Forum,
where it usual to throw in a $10 000 cost as the basic requirement.
To keep the usual contributors contented, I will make the Sub Plinth Brand known, the Minus K - WS4-1000 is an option to consider as a mounting device, and probably very good at what it does.
Once you have been advised on the magic footers to seat in on, it should hit the magic 10K figure.
