best value current production tonearm

Hi
I don't want to mess with vintage arms.
As a second arm to my Steve dobbins garrard 301 (the 1st one is ortofon rs-309d) i'm looking for a great value current production (or last years production) arm with adjustable vta and preferably with detachable head shell at a budget of up to $2-2.5k new or used.
thanks in advance to all repliers.

The Jelco SA750D, E and L are a fantastic value. VTA is adjustable although
not on the fly. Your Ortofon tonearm is manufactured by Jelco btw.

Good Listening

Trans-fi terminator, just a ridiculous value.

I always look at the transfi and then think to myself that with my "2 left hands" I will probably get stuck in the middle trying to mount it.
It looks soooo difficult to handle...

I agree with Pbnaudio. The Jelco SA-750 arms (you pick the length) are hands down best buys, best bang for the buck.
