No vacuum hold-down.  No suspension. Air-bearing tonearm, but the other way around (ie air is forced through the steel shaft).  I reckon Bicht would laugh at this table.  By the way, if there is an "underground support industry" for the Versa I am unaware of it and wouldn't trust it if it exists.  There is support available still from VersLab (http://www.versalab.com/server/versadyn/players1.html).

I do not know anything about Versa TT.  I spoke with Tritium TT maker (about different subject) and he told me that various platter mass are available for his TT, including 100 pounds platter. Still, as mem916 point out: there is “no suspension”. How long ball suspension will last with 100 pounds platter only god knows. In another side – the “contact” type suspension in my estimation might provide the best bass. Well, since no one use or even seen the Tritium TT is it hard to predict anything. I would not absolutely agree with “no vacuum hold-down” critique. The vacuum hold-down is a controversial feature. BTW, the negative curve of platter that Tritium is way more interesting in my view.
