But they’re just too expensive even though 40% cheaper in Tokyo compared to USA. For that reason the Yamaha is interesting too. Belt drive is not my cup of tea however. And $8K is off putting.If only they would resurrect the DD GT2000 with this same underhung tonearm, now that would be very interesting indeed.

Straight arm with no offset- it's a choice, albeit a minority one. Viv Lab rigid float has been getting a lot of raves doing same for some years now... Comes down to quality of implementation, as always!
