New Technics SL 1200 GAE

Anyone acquired a new Technics DD 1200 GAE? Has anyone not been happy with the stock arm and changed it?

VTF is the easiest of course with counterweights, but I can't find any notes on VTA and Azimuth adjustments. I have to believe those can be done, but Technics doesn't get into that at all, let alone how, in their marketing notes.

The VTF and VTA are both covered well with dial-adjustments. Azimuth isn't covered but I guess properly mounting the head shell should suffice?

At the very least they could have omitted the pitch control. That would have sent a very clear message - no DJs, and it would have uncluttered the look a bit to show off more of the nicely finished top plate.
