Thanks, I've been very happy with the table. I think either plinth would be an excellent choice and I actually considered the OMA as an alternative. I haven't heard the OMA but AF has been making plinths for the SP10 series for years, has refined their CLD design over time and will manufacture to your specifications and aesthetic preferences. They also offer the flexibility of multiple tonearms which I wanted in this case. Since the SP10R has the same form factor as the earlier SP10 series, you could use any plinth compatible with a Mk2 or Mk3. Albert Porter is another source for plinths who is easily found on the web and well regarded. I'm not sure of the dimensions of the OMA but my table is 24" x 24" and roughly 150 lbs fully assembled so you'll need to plan your space accordingly.
