Nottingham tonearms compared to other brands?

Has anyone compared other tonearms on the Nottingham decks? I have heard the Nottingham arms are very good compare to some of the other brands out there. Price wise what is available? Any recommendations?

I received it back today and I am very happy with my choice. The 294 does a great job as the reviews have said, and I am astonished at how good it makes notoriously poor pressings sound... I listened to an RCA Red Seal Dynaflex of Liszt's Greatest Hits and I was captivated! Very musical, no hint of hifi, full weight and lifelike ease. Thanks to all who have helped me take this great step!

I have only compared my RB250 to my 12" AnnaLog NAS arm.I can only recall hearing one RB300 at a dealer years ago. My RB250 is quite fully tweaked... TWL's tweak (search here on A'Gon), the HeavyWeight and new stub, and Incognito wiring of course. I have not heard the silver in the Nott because it arrived with a tag detached, and I detached a second tag trying to fix the first, so I sent it to Britaudio immediately. I am very satisfied with the Incognito in both arms. My Rb250 sounds good, but my 294 kills it. I would be tempted to get a 9" NAS arm for the Interspace, but would have to a lot of disposable income and I don't.
