Triplanar vs JMW 12.5 on TNT 6

Anybody used Triplanar VII on VPI TNT 6? How did it compare to JMW 12.5? What cartridges were used?

The Triplanar has an effective mass of 11 grams and the VPI 12.5 an effective mass of 11.2 grams. Not much of a difference. The VPI 12.6 has an effective mass of 10.1 grams. Also, not that different from the Triplanar. Now if you are talking effective length, the Triplanar is 250mm and the 12.5 and 12.6 are 315mm - a significant difference.
