Lyra Skala - Suitable for JMW Memorial Arms

I have a VPI Aries with JMW Memorial 10.5 arm (soon to be upgraded to a 10.5i). I have just ordered one of the new Lyra Skalas, which should arrive in 2-3 weeks. On paper, at least, the Skala should be very similar to the Helikon in terms of resonance characteristics. Can anyone share their JMW/Helikon experiences? In particular, was tracking at the recommended force satisfactory?

the helikon sounded great with my HRX. I know Roy Gregory from hifi+ uses his titan in a VPI as well.

Should sound great

My pal,a former happy Helikon owner( in a different arm),has the Titan in a VPI 12.6,and is very happy.I know of another hobbyist who has the Titan and Titan mono in 12.6 arms,as well.Both Titans are the "i" designation.
Best!

Thanks very much for your answers. The comparison between the Skala and my Nightingale should prove to be most interesting.
