It is definitely not necessary to get it with the aluminum, as other posters have said, there are at least two other options. Mine is wood. As far as the sonic merits over the P25. the arm is quite a bit better for starters, also as others have mentioned, the better plinth makes a big difference. And if you are buying it with a Rega cartridge, the Exact 2 that comes with the P5 is quite a bit better than the Elys that comes on the tables below the P5 in their line.

The P5 will throw a much bigger soundstage than the ones below it in the line in particular, a very noticeable difference. I have compared both in my system, and the P5 is definitely worth the extra money from the sonic perspective. Better resolution of instrumental timbres as well. The Rega line is very well known for their inexpensive but very good designs. IMO definitely the best of the more inexpensive high-end tables (compared to Project, Music Hall, Technics, Nottingham, all of which I have heard) Great sound without alot of fuss.
