Jeff,
Send me your address in an email. I will send one to you, free. I had a lot of initial issues with the VTAF as well. I had the same problem as you. I did not like the whole "shim under the cartridge" thing either. Pete Riggle is a really great guy to deal with. We went back and forth about my issues. He was very helpful and understood my frustrations. I gave up for a while. Then, I tried a piece of wood trim between my cartridge and headshell. It gave me the height I needed. It was very light, so I did not have to have a heavier counterweight or start messing with Blu-tack nad all that.
Ultimately, I just found an average setting for the VTA and left it there. The VTAF benefits the sound in other ways, besides just having adjustment of VTA on the fly. The way that the arm is mounted seems to add a little more clarity to the sound. I also like the fact that you can completely switch arms very quickly. I own more than one Rega. All of them are tweaked a little differently. I can just switch arms/cartridges out and hear what they each sound like on a particular table. That is fun.
If you really want to throw in the towel on this, I would buy your VTAF from you. I completely get your frustration. Just give it one more try. You've already drilled the bigger armhole. There is no real reversal of that. You can still set it and forget it. I did.
