Difference in Music Hall tonearms?

I'm contemplating purchasing a Music Hall MMF-5 or MMF-5SE. According to the Music Hall website, the SE has a real-wood plinth, RCA sockets, a better cartridge, and a Project 9.1 tone arm.

Can anybody explain to me the difference between the 9.1 tone arm and the one included with the regular one? It would really help me figure out whether or not the SE is worth the extra money.

It looks pretty, and has a lot of nice upgrades (arm,rca jacks,wood veneer plinth) but not sure if it justifies the extra $300 or so.

I Recently bought a new MMF-7 from a local dealer, paid 1000 for it, I also have a Rega Planar3 w RB 250 and a audio technica 440ml , the music hall with the factory MC goldring cartridge is a true bargain and a huge improvement over the rega. I would recomend the MMF-7, a true performer.

I think I'll have to go with the normal 5 and not the SE. I just don't see enough of a change... seems more like an attempt to fill a hole in the product line than to really improve on the 5.

Thanks all.
