Best Koetsu for SME V


I have a SME V with a Benz Ruby 2. I want to jump into the Koetsu club. What would be the best Koetsu to match the SME V. Some say that the "stone" ones (Jade-Onyx) would be too heavy for the V although there is now a new SME specially design weight to accomodate the heaviest cartridges like the Clearaudio Goldfinger at 16g. Anyway, any thoughts much appreciated. Anything Urushi and above. Gain is not an issue. I can go as low as .1mv

The Onyx platinum would be my choice.
I sold both my SME V5's & am now using it with my 12" Da Vinci Grandezza - It's much more resolving & dynamic than the Urishi - You do get what you pay for.
