I have owned the Planar 3 and the VPI Scout. Both sound great, but not really in the same league in my opinion. I kept the Scout for about 8 years. The P3 for a couple years, and felt the upgrade urge sooner. Loved the Rega arm, and the simplicity of the P3 design. It always was musical, and fun to listen to.
When I went to the Scout, I felt like I could finally relax, forget about the equipment, and enjoy my LP collection, without thinking: '' I wonder how much better this LP would sound if I changed this or that".
There were many instances of what you describe as musi ians playing in the room. Used an ARC PH3-SE, and tube amplification.
The only thing I did not like with the Scout, was the "feel" of cueing up a record with the JMW memorial tonearm.II'll do not care for the unipivot design, where the tonearm is bananced on a pin head. I got nervous handling it. Although I found absolutly nothing to fault in the sound.
I am a left arm amputee, which may account for my nevousness with handling such a delicate arm. Don't know. After about 8 years, I found a deal on an Oracle Delphi III. A table I have lusted after for a while. I love it, but can't say it is a night and day difference from the Scout. Nevrr heard the Clearaudio, but between P3 and Scout, its a no brainer IMHO.
Good luck.
