Best Koetsu for SME V

I have a SME V with a Benz Ruby 2. I want to jump into the Koetsu club. What would be the best Koetsu to match the SME V. Some say that the "stone" ones (Jade-Onyx) would be too heavy for the V although there is now a new SME specially design weight to accomodate the heaviest cartridges like the Clearaudio Goldfinger at 16g. Anyway, any thoughts much appreciated. Anything Urushi and above. Gain is not an issue. I can go as low as .1mv

Two friends of mine uses 9" SME V with Rosewood Signature and Jade Platinum.
This is good match but in my opinion not the best possible.

I was trying Urushi Vermillion with higher mass arm - 12" Origin Live Enterprise C (21 grams eff. mass) and got very good results.
