Best Arm for a VdH Frog

I am in love with my new cartridge and it sounds very nice on a pimped Jelco 750D.
But maybe the arm is not the best for this Frog. What do you think are the options in a length about max. 9,6inch?
A.J. said, up to 14gramm effective mass it works.

Sorry, but i like it simple :-) This arm is too much hightech for me.

Different persons said, the Grace is built fragile.

@stringreen
I am your opinion, but i am also shure that the Jelco is not the best arm for the frog.

The SME309 is sure better suitable, but not the prettiest one.

A.J. will recommend an SME, i am sure.
But some people talk about the 309 slow and muffled.

The Frog plays very nice on the 750D, only a little bit raw dynamic in low frequencies i miss.

On the long armbase i have an OL Conqueror with EMT JSD6. One the shorter one for the Frog i have only 240mm mounting distance.

The fastest arm i had was a TW 10.5
