SME V and cartridge spacer

Using a Kiseki Purple Heart cartridge, my SME V tonearm occasionally faults on the edge of records so I purchased a spacer from SME. For those who have used this spacer, after accounting for it's added weight during set up, 3 gms, does it effect the sound in any way? 
Thanks...........Jim

Having had a similar issue as you (OP) mentioned, with my Ortofon M20FL Super cartridge

@justmetoo Nice MM cartridge, i have NOS D20FL stylus for it (in original box), this is it, sadly i can’t find the cartridge body for it, maybe you need that NOS stylus ? Just in case.

Michelle, those two styli designed for the same cartridge, but for use with different tonearms as stated in this catalog. M20 FineLine Super made for moderately high mass arm, M20 Elliptical is for light mass tonearm. SME is not a ligh mass tonearm, righ ?
