In general of course I agree, Romy&Paul! But there are few niuances, although how importnat sound-wise I do not know.
First, Vibraplane & alike (incl. my clone) have damping reservoirs, so a fair comparison would be a tire connected to a
damping reservoir. Second, and this is more in the wishfull thinking cathegory, those horribly expensive industrial springs are supposed
to be engineered specifically for LF vibrations, so my expectation is they *should* work better (lower fres, higher internal damping,
higher durability, etc), but I've never seen any test of a, say, SLM mount vs. a bike tire...Would be fun if someone done it!
Third, with independent springs I can level the platform, and this is probably the biggest functional
advantage over a bike tire 
Cheers,
