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

@elliottnewcombjr Anti skating is a bigger deal with short arms. There is a general consensus that 12"+ arms do not require it. 
voltage block?

I'll be taking it apart,, that's for sure, see if any mice lurk within, and, below where I will be putting the 9" arm eventually.

I will let everyone know for sure about any internal voltage change block. I probably will order the small 100w 100v wall wart, have it ready, keep or return if not needed, or if it hums/makes something else hum.

anti-skate - long arm

I get the point about long arm/less anti-skating, but whatever arm I use, I will check and get it floating properly, even if it needs just a speck!

i just examined my tt-71 and there is no voltage block for changing voltage input.
i would be very sure there is not on the tt-81 either but as I am playing albums on it right now not going to get checked for a while.
