Keep your Basis! Upgrade your arm to a Basis Vector, (trading in your Basis rb300) and look at a Shelter 901, Sumiko Celebration, or maybe a Koetsu. The Benz and Basis are not a "synergistic" match in my book. They are often sold by the same dealers as they both have the same distributor, But they just do not go well together.
Maybe have OL do the Origin Live Mod to your BAsis 300 (thus keeping VTA), and get a more involving cart. Benz's put me to sleep......... I feel like i'm watching a movie in panoramic view with the Benz's (L2 and Ruby) - wayyyy to distant and non-involved. Just going to a more involving cart really brought the enjoyment back! It's the arm and Cart combo, as the TT allows what you have as a pickup device(Arm/cart) to shine through.
