Arm Suggestions For Lyra Helikon

Working on an idler project and have been using an OL modified RB300 and I just pulled the Helikon off my LP12 and I'm ready to commit it to the new turntable. Any suggestions on a mate for the cartridge? I'm trying to get away from uni-pivots as my last experience was a bit frustrating because of the setup difficulties. Probably won't spend more than $1200 on this...

I just bought an SME 309 for under $1k, which is more in keeping with my budget. Can't wait to try it out. I've read many people liking this combo. I had a IV on another table and loved it a year ago but couldn't stretch right now...

I'm using mine on a Schroeder Model 2 with very good results. I have also previously used it with a OL mod RB300 but the result is like night and day.

I run mine on a VPI JMW10.5 and this works very well. But in my mind the JMW mates best with a VPI table, as designed.
