Gimbal vs unipivot tonearms


Curious as to the difference between these types of arms. In my experience, it seems as if unipivots are much more difficult to handle.

Is it like typical debates - depends on the actual product design/build or is one better sounding or less expensive or harder to set up....?

In my opinion either can be excellent.  In general gimbal is more expensive to make to achieve the same performance as an equivalent performing unipivot.  Also, most people find gimbal to be more comfortable to use, whereas there is more of a learning curve with a unipivot.  I think the true record nut should have at least one of each.  ;-)
