Who is Jeff Day and why it’s important to use what he’s using ?
Schick designed for low compliance cartridges like SPU and DL103, it can be used with other cartridges too (i owner schick "12) but it’s not the best tonearm, my EPA-100 was so much better than Schick and i sold the schick later. I must say it was very elegant tonearm on my turntable, the design is very nice.
The OP is using Technics 1200GR
It is clear for me that for MM/MI Technics EPA-100 "10.5 tonearm is better than Schick "12
