New arm recommendations?

Well, I went and did it. Spent all my bucks on a Clearaudio Revolution, and a Sigma Wood. Now I'm looking for a temporary fix for an arm until I can scrape up the money for a Tangent, or possibly a TQ-I. Would it be terribly out of line to use an RB300 for a few months if it were rewired with some decent cable? (eg. Cardas or Discovery mod) I was also thinking if I had to go a little better then possibly a Graham Robin, or Origin Live, keeping in mind, the more I spend now, the longer I will have to wait to get the arm I want. It seems a crime to have the table & cartridge sitting there silent. The wife also thinks I am a moron for having spent all that money & there is still no sound coming from the speakers. :-)
The rest of the system is complete tube (Sonic Frontiers), and the speakers are a dipole D'appolito design that work well with the tube gear. (ie. smooth mid-upper ranges) I am generally not too worried about the source being too bright. (Even digital sounds decent)
Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated. Hopefully they don't mirror my wifes thoughts.

The reason that I am interested in a linear tracking arm is mostly due to the fact that I had one on my Delphi, and I was quite pleased with it. I originally had an RB300 on it, and upgraded to an ET2. There was a noticeable difference to say the least. I guess that I have fallen into a linear tracking mindset. I will however explore all the options before making a purchase in the higher price range for an arm. It seems to me that it would be better to gain knowledge through forums like this, than from a magazine review, or advertisement.

Thanks all,

Paul
