Aries 3 and Super Platter

I'm pretty sure you will have to replace the bearing also.

I was just wondering because I thought the Aries 3 comes with the inverted bearing compatible with the Super Platter. My bearing looks just like the Super Platter bearing in the ads on Music Direct and Elusive Disc. Maybe it is a different length or dimension even though it looks the same.

The super platter weighs MUCH more than the Aries 3 acrylic platter. I'm sure that the bearing would have to be more robust?

I agree with the above. You do know that the Super Platter has been discontinued? I would check with VPI or have your dealer do so immediately if I was interested in one, they often have some older products left. As a VPI dealer who uses an Aries with Super Platter and SMF I can say from experience that you will notice the difference. Just don't drop it on your toe, that sucker is HEAVY.
