Acrylic platter


I have a Project expression II turntable which comes with an aluminum platter . I was wondering on buying an Acrylic platter made specifically for my turntable . My question is will it make a difference for the better changing my aluminum platter for an acrylic one ? I'm using an Ortofon Salsa moving coil cartridge with it , project speed box , cables are JPS superconductor Q and phono stage is the dedicated moving coil gold phono board of the Audible Illusions 3A preamp .

My question is will it make a difference for the better changing my aluminum platter for an acrylic one ? The main reason why I'm asking is because I'm not set to buy it as it's cost is 150 dollars and I have come to learn many times , that which seems to many to be a positve change , in my system might not amount to anything positve . Since I can't borrow it to be able to hear the differences before buying it I have no other alternative but to ask other audiophiles on their experiences on the subject . I know that it should make a difference as many small changes on a turntable , taking into consideration that everything is happening on a micro level make very audible changes in the presentation of the music but these changes are not always for the better or to the persons taste .
Cast aluminum, zinc, steel, stainless steel, acrylic,other plastics or layers of of all types. Then we get into the mats, felt, cork, cork, micro dots and whatever. My advice. Spend your money on a better cartridge or phono preamp.

My previous TT Audiomeca J1 had acrylic layers with lead in between, my present Kuzma Stabi Reference has also acrylic layers with aluminum plate in between. You can buy an acrylic mat for much less money, try and if satisfy you can eventual glue the mat on your aluminum platter.
