What is the best arm for a Linn Soundeck 12

I am replacing the Akito arm for my Linn Soundeck12. What arms that fit should I consider? Do I have to replace the arm board?

The best arm I had on it was a Graham 2.2. I have heard Ittok's and Eko's (which I liked a lot), but the Graham will play with them. I have not heard the Naim Aro which is supposed to be very good on a Linn. Good Luck, Mark

The WTA arm is light enough not to bother the suspension of the table and the benefits of no bearing on the arm are substantial IMHO.

As somebody suggested I sent the arm to Scotland (Johnnie7) who replaced the bearings and it came back better than new. The charge was reasonable.
