VPI Scoutmaster feet

To date, I've used the standard VPI cone feet on my TT to adjust for the slight level inaccuracy of the built-in shelf in my listening room. However, to level properly it left two of the cones toward what I would consider a bit of an extreme with respect to a decently firm contact with the TT.

Thinking of replacing the cones with the VPI flat feet. To those that have these, do they allow (and are they designed) to be used for levelling? I understand within reason; the amount of levelling I'm talking about is on the order of say 3-4 mm max or so.

Jsman-
These feet add about an inch. TT Weights you can find here on the 'Gon or the link below. He'll make you a riser for your motor if needed. I do not recall what I paid exactly, but it was around $500 for the 4 feet and the riser.

Stanwal-
The rubber in the feet barely protrude. I think I'll try my set-up without the Gingko platform as what you are saying makes sense.

The Star Sound feet are $ 43 each. the 1.5 inch size, The 2 " work as well. I also use their saucers under the points, they are $8.50 or so. I took the rubber feet off the motors and substituted their .2 Audio points point down. Either blutaked on the bottom of the motor or just slid under it. You will be really surprised at the difference. I have done this on the Scout , Scoutmaster , and Aries and can give advice on each in particular if you are interested, just email. I tried some suspended platforms under the new tables that had worked with the old ones but the results were not good. I am lucky to have concrete floors so some suspension might be helpful if floors are bouncy enough.
