Thinking About Upgrading The Tonearm On My Rega P5...

I`ve read some interesting comments about the Audiomods Series 5 tonearm and they all seem to be pretty good across the board.
The Micrometer version looks like a nice setup allowing VTA 'on the fly'.
The antiskate apparently works better too according to users that have upgraded from a Rega arm.


I`m also wondering about the Rega RB2000 which is used on the Rega RP10, seems that might be a nice leap up the proverbial ladder.
Or step down a rung or two to the RB808...??
I have the Groovetracer subplatter/counterweight combo (stock Rega platter) and I like the looks of the cherrywood P5 better than the RP10/RP8
The cartridge is a ZYX Airy 3

Any thoughts/suggestions/ideas ??

 "The difference between an RB700 and an Audiomods Series IV is significant".  

Thanks..curious as to how the IV stacks up against the V ??
I think the V uses the same arm tube as the RB2000, but then again, I`m also under the impression that others in the line do also now .
 If that`s the case, then it would seem to come down to bearing selection and fitment...right ?

I`ve read where the rb700 arm doesn`t need a rewire like the lower level arms do.
I`ll leave it stock and maybe sell it along with the Grovetracer counter weight.
Thanks
Steve
