Nice to hear your opinion on the Orion Reference, which is also incredibly good. I've heard same TT with Reed arm and Bluelectric pickup. That's also an amazing combination. Yes, I do consider a SME V arm or SME's arm built for Trans Rotor, the 5009. This arm is something in between the 309 and V, more info about it here: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/jr-transrotor-orion-reference-fmd-with-tr-5009-tonearm/
