Tbh, I wish I never added the base plate to mine.
I see you have a MN platter and this is only my opinion, not here to upset anyone.
I thought it sounded best with the MN Bearing, standard platter, Oyaide MJ-12 mat and weight.
If I had never had glued the BP in place I may still have the deck. I found it changed the sound of the 1210 with the BP & MN Platter, it lost it's sparkle that I always liked and sounded slower and more lumpy.
Just my advice, think carefuly before you glue, there's no going back.

Cheapskate that I am, I did the Cagey / Hugo inspirational idea of surrounding the bearing base, within the plastic well, in beeswax. I thought it a great little upgrade at the time. Never heard a base plate so couldn't offer comparisons.
Thanks for the advice. It gives me something to think about. As you say it's a no return modification I
f you don't like it.
Well due to a change in direction I will not be needing a base plate anymore. The MN bearing has now been removed and the standard one put back in. My modded parts are for sale as the SL1210 is back to standard. I used it today in standard form apart from the standard rewired sleeved arm. Though it sounded ok I was shocked how grainy it sounded with the original kit back on it. Just proves spending money on this turntable does give massive gains but at a cost.
