I'm sure we would get along great.
I've found that the choice of materials is extremely dependent on the environment. When my listening room was on a suspended floor, my old Logic DM101 (similar to Linn/AR/Ariston), but also similar to Sota (3 point suspension hung from springs) worked best at isolation when using either a low or high mass stand. Where my tables are now, foot falls and structure borne vibration aren't much of an issue. The platforms are more about preventing airborne vibration from reaching the platter and arm, and also about the ability to precisely level the plinth and platter.
