Airtangent vs Kuzma airline

Just bought the JC Verdier platine and want to get a tangent tracking arm.
I have received info and I am leaning towards the Kuzma or the swedish Airtangent .
The EM-2, Airtech MG-1 and the Condustor by the cartdridge man are also in the running but their build quality aren't in the same league from what I can tell in the pictures. How good are they I really don't know.
Opinions, or any comments wound be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Actually, I did, at the Heathrow show. He said he preferred the Schroeder, and I believe he also said that was the general consensus at Munich when the table was played with 4 arms (not sure what cartridges).

Hi Frank, I fear I might have put words in Thomas' mouth, but i wish I'd been to Frankfurt to hear the 4 arms. I gather there was another interesting turntable demo with blind people doing the listening honors.

Dgad, I had the Tron Seven in for a couple of weeks and its an excellent phonostage. I could hear no problems to do with step ups, far from it. In my set up with several cartridges it had a very full bodied, big sound and seductive. Not quite the detail of the TEAD Groove Plus, but fuller and very involving. Another one to look out for is the new Viva, with seperate 300b valve power supply. I heard that recently and was v. impressed.
