Next step up from the Sumiko FT-3

In my opinion....

On an HW-19 IV, a Jelco SA-750 or TK-850 would be a good step up.  I think they are available from George Merrill / GEM Dandy for under your budget.  

Thanks! After a decent google search, I found it hard to find them anywhere. Oddly enough.

Still, I'm about to send off the SAMA for recalibration and the Benz for re-tipping. It's good to finally take the table apart and practice putting it back together. The Sumiko arm, I found, was drilled about 4mm too short. So I might rotate that part of the plinth around and re-drill so it's the 221.7mm distance it should be.

Or does it really matter?
