Achromat

Im think of trying an Achromat on my LP-12. Would I be better off going with the 3mm than the 5mm?

If you're not using a clamp (which you shouldn't really need with the achromat) then spindle hight probably isn't an issue. Also - if you go to the Funk Firm website and send them an email you may get their (more authoritative) guidance.

Less tinkering. I have a nonefelt/speed mat on my other turntable that I'll be able to swap for some comparison.
