Thoughts on Phantom vs Copperhead?

Hi folks,I have a good friend who is considering moving from a Phantom to the Copperhead....

He is a serious LP collector(with a superb system),and obviously likes the superb Phantom alot.I DO too,but he has asked me to get "any" feedback on the comparison,or "consideration of one over the other" that I can....Hence,this post!!...

Btw,the table he has(like myself)is the latest SOTA COSMOS,with a Transfig Orpheus cartridge.His speaker is the Magico Mini,run by high res electronics.

Any thoughts would be welcome..

I envy you Sirspeedy,
I ripped a tendon in my shoulder doing my favourite cross-court top-spin and it won't repair itself.
Seems my tennis days may be over.
What price Nadal winning Wimbledon this year?

Sirspeedy,
As Downunder says.....you know what I think about the Copperhead.
But, surprisingly, since Thomas from Raven sent me the stainless steel spacers to elevate the DaVinci 12" Grandezza so that its locking collar grips tightly, its performance is as good as the Copperhead and different enough in presentation to be totally intriguing.
As Jon Valin says in his thoughts on AV Guide, the DaVinci is the best pivoted arm he has heard, and the equal of the Walker Proscenium linear tracker.
