Isn't the 208 unsuspended? If so, consider the Trans-Fi air bearing tonearm, which punches far, far above it's weight (and cost). I use two of them, on high class modern turntables.
I don't think you can get a Thoman Schick for under $1k though if so I hear they are wonderful as well. lacking in anti skate though from what I understand .
I suggest you look into an Analog Instruments Siggwan which is a 12" cocobolo unipivot. It is less expensive than the Schick and sounds better too. Each one is made to order but mine only took several weeks.
I forgot to mention the Siggwan is a great match with Denon 103 cartridges. I have a 103R on mine right now. (I used the 103R on a Schick before I got the Siggwan.)
