RP8 dustcover or not?

I own the magnificent Rega RP8 turntable and are a very pleased owner by far. I do have a question, and have not yet see this discussed..?? The RP8 are great looking in it self, but when you take off the outer-frame and do NOT have the luxury using the dustcover, it looks awsome. But you now have free access for dust to get to the table, and i really don`t know if this could be a problem on the long run..?? And YES, it is relatively easy to take the outerframe off, but it`s not THAT easy, so to flex between on/off, would be 2 much i guess. So if i could have it my way, i will use it without the outer-frame, but on the other hand, i don`t wan`t to destroy/damage anything..?? Anyone has any experience with this..??

I will be dealing with this issue in a few weeks when my RP10 arrives.

Even though I'd prefer to not use the outer-frame and dust cover, I likely will since my cats love sneaking into the stereo room.

You might see if there's a Ginko or similar acrylic cover that's general in size enough to fit over the skeletal part of the RP8. The Ginko cover that I bought for my Marantz TT also can cover an LP-12 or TD-125. You would obviously need one that rests atop on your TT shelf OUTSIDE of the RP8 plinth.
