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?

I am not familiar with Michell TT s, but what is so special about the arm board that prevents you from finding a machinist who could make one to your specs? It’s probably just a matter of drilling a hole in the right location on a blank arm board.

Also, check spindle to pivot distance for the arm you want to use vs P2S for the available arm boards. You might luck out and find that one of them is actually useable with your chosen tonearm.
