SL-1200G/Hana ML Best Headshell

I have been looking at a Titanium and Carbon Fiber headshell.  I think one is 19gm vs 12gm.  The ML has published compliance and weight, but I can't find published figures for the Technics magnesium arm?  Anyone have suggestions as to best way forward when looking for a headshell?

No, the Technics SL1200 tonearm has an effective mass of 12g

The OEM headshell is 7.6g.

OK, I thought we were talking about the SL 1200G. I bought my 1200G shortly
after they came out. I did the research and the consensus was that the tonearm
mass was 12g. I found this information from several sources. I don't have the
time now to do the research again.

Also, the article above refers to the 1200GR. My understanding is that the 
GR has an aluminum tonearm versus magnesium for the 1200G.
