The extra 357g weight makes very little difference to the suspension setting. What this photo is supposed to show is the level of the top deck of chassis in relation to the aluminium panel at the front of the turntable. With the original platter fitted the chassis was a mm or two above the level of the front panel.

And with the iron platter fitted the suspension has only sagged by 1-2mm. Easily compensated for with a small tweak to the preload adjustment on the suspension springs.
