Graham Phantom B44 on a TD124 or a SOTA Sapphire?

I just found a used Phantom B44 arm and it could land on one of 2 tables I am running, Thorens TD124 or Sota Sapphire. Any opinions ?Any one currently running either combination? The thorens is currently running an SME 3012 and the SOTA a Rega RB300 arm, clearly the the Sota is in more need of an upgrade, but I might switch to a 2 arm plinth on the 124... Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure I've seen the Phantom on a SOTA - are you sure it fits with clearance on all sides? The magnetic outrigging might make for a tight fit.

I got my SOTA Star years ago with a Fidelity Research FR64fx (vintage Japanese arm), and to me that's a perfect aesthetic and sonic fit for SOTA. It's a little on the heavy side (2.2 lbs) but it works. I also preferred 64fx over the Phantom on my other tables.
