Don't recall a Classic model that has rounded corners. Think ahead. There are several levels of upgrades available for all but the top VPI models. Will the new model have some features that you will not need/want to upgrade in the future while the 'new old stock' model does not? As mentioned, the $500 additional towards a better cartridge, phono IC, preamp or LPs is something else to consider. Assume that both will have the complete packaging & materials as well as a full factory warranty? All Classic models have a good TA, so that $500 towards a better cartridge & IC could be the way to go.
