It doesn't impact my decision, but I do have some records from the 90s (the OP of Down on the Upside) that warped, and i'm not sure how. The extra thickness reduces warping, but it's not a dealbreaker.

-- is 180 gram or not a factor when you decide to buy a LP? Or isn't that a factor in the end o f you picking it up?
Not a real factor. If something is avail in 180, great. But if it's only in 140, that doesn't dissuade me. The lineage, mastering, engineer and pressing plant are all way more important to the quality. If you are worried about warping, get a record clamp. They solve all sorts of problems.
Unless you have a Rega TT - a clamp is useless on a Rega TT if the record is 180g.

Is your spindle too short? I've been telling you for years that 8" is not what you think it is.
