I have the Clearaudio Innovation Compact Wood - I got it for the same reason... multiple arms for stereo records, mono records, and 78s.
I did a ton or research and came to the conclusion this was the best and easiest set up possible in my price range.
I was patient and extremely lucky, and I managed to get everything I wanted for around $5000.00! The table, two armboards, a Fidelity Research FR-64s with three headshells, and a Clearaudio Satisfy carbon fiber tonearm. No carts at this price.
I am no expert with high end, but I can assure you that this is an easy machine to set up and operate with truly wonderful results. All my audiophool friends seem to think it's an extremely nice setup as well. None of them are into running two arms but they really like the Innovation Compact.
Good luck.
