I am surprised by comments about handling an arm.  I don’t see this as an issue at all.

It's just a matter of preference. There's something very appealing about the precision of an arm such as a Triplanar or SME V. It's a tactile thing. By comparison, a wobbly unipivot feels imprecise. Again, just a matter of preference.

I've heard some outstanding unipivot pickup arms, such as the VPI at Soundsmith, but I have a prejudice against them. Frankly, I find the wobbly feel to be just creepy.
