Tonearms: Graham 2.1 or 2.2 vs Basis Vector

Hi, I have a Basis 2001 with Rega RB300 and am finally edging toward tonearm upgrade. I had been figuring on getting the Basis - seems the default best choice - but I hear that Basis now has a "Vector" arm in the same price range that could be competition, particularly in that it was designed for the Basis tables. I've also heard interesting comment about a tonearm called "Schroeder".

Have any of you heard the Vector or Schroeder, and could comment on sound quality and appropriate match for Basis 2001?

Cartridge is Van Den Hull Frog, phono stage is Sonic Frontiers Phono One.

Thank you.

Hi,
I own the Graham Arm with a Basis Debut Vacuum Player. I am very satisfied with it and it is definetly a recommendation.
The Basis Vector is good, but not in this class.
I ordered a Schroeder Reference with a custom made arm tube for my Miyabi , it will arrive this month.

I listened to it for a few hours mounted on a Basis Debut with a Takeda Miyabi system,( I own that, too ), the demo system I knew VERY well and it is a really interesting arm!
