don’t know about the 9 inch versions, but last year i purchased a Glanz MH-1200S for my Sumile Mono cartridge. it’s mounted on my Esoteric T1 turntable as the 3rd arm.

build quality is superb, and it’s easy to install and set up. i’m very happy with it’s performance. not tried the Sumile Mono on other arms, so hard to compare. the Glanz seems neutral and the bass performance and sense of space are top notch.
i’m guessing that the difference between the 1200/1000/900 level and the lower ’B’ models is just the materials, maybe the level of precision. the 1200 is all stainless steel. i recommend you inquire with a dealer about it. here is what the website says about the difference;
Standard grade model. Cost reduction has been achieved through the technical capabilities of an engineer familiar with the characteristics of different materials.
The arm pipe and vertical shaft parts (which greatly influence sound quality) are made from stainless steel.
- Along the main conduction tube we have reproduced a material close to stainless steel supplement, using brass with a tough chrome plating
- The fulcrum is strongly supported with radial bearings
- The inside force canceler, Arm Resting Device and Arm Lifting Device are insulated with ABS resin, and reduces reverberation distortion
i do have some other fine arms in my system, the Glanz seems to be competitive with those, i’m happy with my purchase.
