Kevin,
One last final tip. I'd ditch the granite. I've also messed around with more turntable stand than I care to remember. Mass is probably good for sprung decks like the LP12 but not so good for the 1210. Granite rings like a behatch IMHO. You could probably do better experimenting with bamboo. My personal favourite is bamboo chopping boards from IKEA although Dunhelm also do something similar, you'll also get more out of your deck if you mount the chopping board on spikes or ball bearings!
Regards
A
