I understand the only difference in these 2 is the platter, any input on whether or not its worth the jump in price?

  There is no 2 the 1.1 is the second edition with the classic platter. From reports I've read the 1.1 has better definition in all areas than the original with plastic platter......

You sure about that?

Hi Rivalaudio, I have the original VPI Scout with the acrylic platter which I’ve owned for about 8 years now. There is no doubt for me, (at my age) this will be my last turntable, I like it that much.

That said, I am not familiar with the new models but if I had to pick between one, I would go with the heavier platter (if it’s within your budget) especially if you think you will be keeping it for a long time.

When it comes to turntables, the more mass the better. Take your time and buy once.

Below is a picture of mine.

Once you get to the Scout 2 price ($2,500) you may want to consider moving up to the VPI Classic ($3,000). It is a much more massive table and also comes with a better arm. Seems more bang for the buck imo.

Good luck!
