Looking for some turntable/tonearm/cartridge guidance

Hoping someone can help me determine if this combo will work or not. I'm trying to complete my new turntable, Michell Gyro SE. I have a Michell TecnoArm 2 on order, but it's been months and I'm not confident it'll even show up anymore. I found a Moerch DP-6 9" Precision Red Tube, with the proper armboard for table. I have a new Hana ML cartridge ready to mount once I get an arm. 
Based off the vinylengine tool, I think I'd be in the 10-11 Hz area (7.5g mass arm, 9.5g cartridge weight). That seems to be correct, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the Moerch arms. Would that arm be an improvement over the TecnoArm, assuming I ever even got it?

Coreyt,

Morch DP-6 is not unipivot. It is an awesome arm. In a wrestling match against SME V, it would likely end up with a broken limb, but if you prefer a set and forget approach, it plays beautiful music. Also, it is spectacularly beautiful and it would look amazing with a Gyro SE.
