Sumiko Celebration Arming

Hello all. I recently stumbled across a used Sumiko Celebration - a cartridge I have not previously owned but about whose virtues and characteristics I have read with interest. Wondering of those who have owned a Celebration, which arms on which you have hung this cartridge. One which arms have you experienced the best synergy, all else equal? I'd like to identify an arm (VTA adjustment a MUST) to mate with this critter. SME, maybe?

Oh yeah, the question of budget will arise. Let's say no more than $1800 new/$100o used and not at all afraid to go $400 if that proves the best match (if ya catch my drift, in that regard).

Thanks in advance for all comments.

Yes, the Vector is a great arm. It is very stable and as Monk said it can be tuned far more than many people realize. I have not tried the Vector/Celebration combo but the compliance is close to the Benz Glider that I have tried on the Vector. I found that I liked the Glider better on the 2.2 and preferred a lower compliance on the Vector along with somewhat less dampening oil. The Vector is rock steady. I found the Vector and 2.2 to be very close but it really depends on what cartridge is being used.

I may still get a Model 3 someday.
