Is the KAB Fluid Damper worth it if...

my concern about the heavyfeet is that it looks rather fragile to rest a tt player upon.....

Fragile how?

The bottom of the heavyfeet is only a small point so not the last word of stability

Yeah, but that's the point of spikes or cones--terminating in a small point. Spikes and cones are everywhere and it's not like components and speakers are tipping over and falling over throughout the audio world.

The weight of the component is concentrated on those 4 small points. In the case of an SL12x0 turntable plus the Heavyfeet, you have 30 lbs. concentrated on the area of four points. That means the pressure from above is highly concentrated, and it's why components don't usually wobble when set on cones.

Has anyone tried using the threaded Megafoot instead of the Heavyfoot? Is it worth the additional cost?

Think three legged bar stool. Think camera tri-pod. They work, although it's tough to argue they are more stable than four legged versions. However, three supports are easier to stabilize than four.
