Schroeder Model 2 carbon fiber vs. Pertinax tonearms

I'm seriously considering a Schroeder Model 2 but am wondering about the sonic differences between the carbon fiber arm, which many people rave about,  but which Frank Schroeder himself has said has inferior resonant and dielectric properties compared to his more expensive wood arms for the Reference and DPS.  I have not seen anyone comment on the sonic differences between the carbon and more expensive pertinax.  Would appreciate any info useful in deciding which way to go.  I am replacing a Scheu Classic 2 tonearm on my Scheu Premier 2 turntable and currently using a Soundsmith SMMC-2 cartridge.  Thanks, danl
