SME V and Benz LP-S


Has anyone mounted the new Benz LP-S on an SME V? The manual for the SME V says it can take cartridges with a maximum weight of 14 grams and the Benz LP-S is 16 grams. Interestingly enough, the SME IV can take a cartridge with a maximum weight of 16 grams. Maybe the difference is in the way tracking force is applied: the SME V uses a spring to apply tracking force and the SME IV applies tracking force by moving the counterweight. The older Benz LP works nicely in the SME V, but it weighs significantly less than the new model. Anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone has successfully used the LP-S with the SME V.
