Hi Mike,
following a quote from the SME site:
>>> Intended to be compatible dimensionally with earlier SME models, the 'V' is a rigidly-pivoted tonearm with a 233.15mm stylus-to-pivot distance, and a 23.6350 offset angle. <<<
As you, I'm momentarily 'lost' and can't find the source of the 5/8" measurement, but am very certain that's what it was.
It might be fine to have the other, stylus-to-pivot distance up top.

on SME web site.
If I dig up the other reference I'll let you know. I think it was on one of the many sites discussing alignments.
Greetings,
Axel
