Some of the LPs of some of the top soloists and groups are being re-pressed - remastered from original sources - in 180 gram vinyl. They get premium prices.
“The biggest change in vinyl LPs recently is 180 gram vinyl.”
That is not a big change. The biggest changes have been to the equipment used to produce the master.
A friend is a highly acclaimed mastering engineer who gifted me an acetate cut using a 300B amplifier of a Doobie Bros album he remastered. It was really cool to watch the cutting process.
Good news: incredible sound - as close to the master tape as one can get.
Bad news: it has limited plays so I rarely play it.

The Hi-Rez digital 24-bit downloads can surpass vinyl - it’s all in the mastering.
Vinyl does have limitations - dynamic & bass range (especially in the inner grooves) and, obviously, overall playing time.
