Dynamic Tracking V.S Static Balancing

This question is refering to the RB300. Which do you feel is better, and why? Using the VTF dial V.S Setting the dial to 3 grams (or removing the spring completely) and using the counterweight to set VTF.

Thanks.
Dave

Then I set the tracking force by sliding the counterweight back and forth until I reach the correct force on my Shure SFG-2 stylus force gauge.
