The one i like but have to only buy NOS and almost impossible to source were the last of the 312 aluminium arm tube model, with upgraded bearings this is a magnificent arm indeed it has alot of the great qualities of the classic 3012R but with far greater scale and sense of control with sheer life much nicer than any of the arms mentioned. I might know where one is available.
