If you were to design a tone arm, what would it look like and feature?

There are a good number of different tonearm designs currently on the market. Some feature a uni-pivot, some gimbal bearings, some are air bearing designs, others use a knife edge...etc. We also have multi adjustability ( SRA, Azimuth weight, etc) and size--9 inch 10inch..twelve inch. Then we have the SAT tonearms that also feature carbon fibre etc., 
If money was no real object, what is your idea of the 'ideal tonearm' that you would design...and why?

Take a look at the SAT and work backwards from that.

@mijostyn  +1 on the Kuzma 4 Point.  Money always matters and Franc Kuzma has engineered a great solution at a reasonable price considering the performance.  It will be my next arm.

Remember the older gentleman who designed a weird tonearm that Fremer covered very briefly at AXPONA? And he needed funding? That arm.

I want a tonearm like the E.A.T. F-Note, with Laser VTA and Azimuth adjustment, I also want it with automatic adjusted anti-skating, automatic arm lift, remote controlled VTA, remote controlled stylus drop and lift from any record tracks.
