Sns,
I would most definitely follow all of Dgarrestons suggestions on tweaking your table including NOT buying a second table.
This money saved is money better spent else where.
Also look into Tvads suggestion on a purchase of a highly accurate arc protractor. MintLp.com
Rergarding your tonearm.
200 hours on your tonearm wire is not near enough.
I'm sure things sound fine at this point, but there's more, a lot more. Things will open up and bloom from top to bottom.
When the Valhalla is fully run in there will be absolutely no hint that its even there passing a signal.
If there is any bit of brightness or coolness in the treble region while listening it needs more time on it to settle down.
What I just wrote I know this may not help with your classic Rock listening issue.
I'm just letting you know there is more to be had by logging time onto your tonearm wire.
