VPI Scout

I picked up a Scout saturday.(my wife gave me the thumbs up) It has a Benz Micro Glider high output cart. Did I do good? The uni-pivot arm is really scary, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
Am I set for a few years with the TT cart combo? Right now I am using the Creek MM phono stage, (which I feel is under rated) but I am planning on adding a phono stage to my BAT VK31SE. Any other advise from VPI owners?
I am excited about this purchase, but I can't talk to any of my freinds about it. They think I am already crazy for getting into this expensive hobby. They just don't understand my(our)obsession. At least my wife is accepting, her nickname is "the saint".

I just purchased a Scout with a Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge. I'm hoping it's as great as everyone says it is (going from Rega P3). Now my next decision is what phono pre? I was thinking about a Tom Evans Microgroove Plus vs a used Aesthetix Rhea. Looking forward to joining the VPI Scout club soon!

About the SDS, I was thinking the same thing. Will be on the lookout for one.
Thanks.
