Koetsu Rosewood Sig or other Koetsu on medium mass arms


I have a Kuzma Ref 313 arm with a mass of 13 grams. It's a gimbal type arm. I'm looking for opinions, experiences, or direct user results on how a Koetsu might match up with a well made medium mass arm like the Kuzma.

Appreciate this so far...It sounds like we should pay attention to specs/matching, yet it’s likely not bible. I’ve enjoyed Koetsu’s (Rosewood standard and Rosewood Sig) on a Graham 2.2. This is going back too far to help myself here, but I believe others have had success using medium mass (<25 Gram) arms. However, I’m sure choosing a lighter arm increases the chance of running in to a mismatch. Perhaps there are still a number of good med mass choices, such as a well made gimbal arm. I’m going by what I’ve heard in my last sentence, but sometimes we have to operate without an abundance of info. Let’s face it, interest isn’t at an all time high in this hobby.
Franc said via email... his arms are designed to work with the best low compliance cartridges. He certainly went further with a more technical explanation, but I didn't want to quote him word for word. He also brought my attention to a recent Dick Olsher review in TAS, which I had already read. Dick had the Rose Sig on my exact table and arm. The review wasn’t the best written, but he certainly liked the Rose Sig.
