TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm?

I don't mean to start a good, better, best, 'here we go again' tech talk about 9/12, that has been covered, and I have been researching.

I am just wondering: Who tried and ended up preferring a 12" arm?

Aside from all other upgrades you probably did at the same time, which could have improved a 9" arm, what about the 12" arm made you stick with it?

I suppose, 'I tried 12" and went back to 9"' would be good to know also

thanks, Elliott

@totem395  So you think it's better not to tell him anything about the obvious problem with the arm counterweight when i see it ?
I'm just trying to help! 

We do not celebrate Christmas at all, sorry 
But i hope you're well and Mary Christmas 

He did not even get the package yet. 

Anything purchased on ebay can be returned with shipping compensation from paypal, every buyer on ebay is protected 100%. This tonearm is in junk condition, they are $150 in japan in this condition with broken counterweight. The seller can compensate or accept return or offer partial refund. My advice, actually.  

Or it must be fixed by OP, the rubber part must be replaced.  

P.S. Finding a perfect sample of UA-7045 is not easy and they're cost much more than the whole turntable he has bought (if the arm is NOS). A perfect used sample of this arm normally goes for $700+ on ebay.  
 
Mine was a dual outlet model so I could power both my tt-81 and tt71 from it.
it came with a built in cable of about five feet so cannot comment on the almost wallwart style of your first link.

I have mine removed in distance from both the TT and power strip and I hear no hum whatsoever.
