Anyone have a chance to play with the Bob's Devices Step Up transforner for VPI turntables?

Bob's Devices SUT intrigues me because it would eliminate that pesky phono cable and all the losses to that small signal that ensue. In real life, this little SUT replaces the junction box on the back of the VPI table and the tonearm plugs directly into the SUT. So the connection between the table and phono section now become more line level like. So the question is how do the sonic gains from eliminating the phono cable, a set of connections, not to mention the chance of RFI and noise balance out against the sound of the SUT?
I actually had one in house end of 2014 but Bob sent me the wrong transformer. Got involved in another project so never got around to following up and getting the right SUT for my VPI table.
