Technoarm for LP-12?

I'd like to replace the Basik LV-X arm on my LP-12 and am strongly considering the Technoarm. I would prefer to go new rather than used and am looking to stay under $1500. Are there any other choices to consider before pulling the trigger?

I've heard many glowing recommendations for the Hadcock 228 Export.

Origin live Silver, great value.

I considered the OL Silver but think that I would prefer the Technoarm at this point.

The Hadcock I know nothing about, other than I have seen some LP-12's for sale with a Hadcock mounted. I've since looked into them - They seem to have a few different wiring options but I don't know which way I'd go. I guess that I would prefer a neutral sound.

Sometimes the more choices there are available, the more confusing it gets :)-

I'd also strongly consider a used Ittok. There was one availble here but it got snapped up rather quickly :(

I have the Basik LV-X on mine as well. It has the Valhalla power supply. When I took it in for a tune-up, I asked about a tonearm upgrade, but was told I should upgrade to the Origin Live DC motor for a greater improvement over a tonearm change.
