Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm?


How many of you have the Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Air Bearing linear Tone Arm? Or the older Trans-Fi Evolution Tonearm. What is your experience with this arm, how satisfied are you with this arm, and how does it compare with other tonearms you have tried?

I am seriously thinking of getting the Terminator for my VPI Super Scoutmaster with Rim Drive, but have no experience with linear tone arms. I have found just one person on Audiogon who has this arm and loves it. This fact is somewhat confusing to me, since if the arm is so great, as some people say it is, you would think more people on Audiogon would have it or at least tried it out.
Thanks,

I have been intrigued with this arm design as it is a low pressure arm vs the high pressure arm i use with my maplenoll. I have not owned one of the premier pivot arms but have owned tables with rega and stock arms on duals and denons. My linear tracker meets all of my expectations.
The system using a air compressor, filters and surge tank were a pain to set up but once i solved that problem, i have an arm that can handle most any record and any cartridge. I love the fact there is no tracking error, no antiskate and floats over most any wavy or warped record. I know this is offtopic since the question is about the terminator arm but the concept is sound and the manufacturing seems solid. This have been discussed on AA and DIY forums many times.
