What's the best unipivot to arm ever made?

I'm really fond of unipivot tonearms in their way of music reproduction. For my point of view they represent the music with full of energy without loosing its authority and signature. Less is more? I do not know! I'm currently using a Mayware Formula 5 tonearm and believe is one of the best to arms ever made regardless price. Much better than my previous Schroeder Reference (even though I must admit Schroeder was mounted in an inferior turntable). What's your opinion about the best unipivot tonearm ever made and why your preference is so special?

Grace 704/714. While not wildly popular in their day, they perform admirably with modern cartridges, both MM and MC and were well ahead of their time.

Lewm,
I have a few of the 704s, the all aluminum version. I do not own the wood version, but would like to get one. I used a 704 as one of my reference until recently when I purchased an Audiomods. I am now building an Empire 208 based project that will use on of my 704s.
I do agree that the price of the 704/714 have gone way up in the last two years. Not sure why.
