Sound Hi Fi Technics Jelco/SME arm upgrades

I'm wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to put in the Sound Hi Fi arm plate and either the SME or Jelco tonearm. After looking around for a new turntable for the last two months and spending more time with my 1200, I'm thinking about taking the 1200 to the next level (thanks Johnny for a little perspective).

I'm starting from a KAB modded turntable with the external RCA plate.

I'd also like to hear feedback on external PSUs for the 1200.

Dear Tim: It is very hard to me wonder why any one can take all those " annoyances " trying to build/improve that Technics TT in any way when any one of you can buy a lot lot better ( for almost the same price. ) TT/tonearm like these ones by Technics:

I can be wrong but IMHO does not make sense.

Regards and enjoy the music,
