The problem with the Tonearms is, you will always know it better later (unfortunately). I have a few and made all the comparisons and indeed, the differences with a cartridge can be small, but it can can be huge too.
It depends on the weight of the cartridge and how much energy the cartridge puts into the Arm.
From my experience the Zyx are not critical, they work very good with lots of Arms. I did always enjoy listening to their Karat 17 model or the Kaitora. I think, when the XV-1s stretches you limit, there is no need to go for it.
