I've lots of listening experience with the SME 10, but with the standard Model 10 arm. I've also heard the Bardo. The SME, in my opinion, suffers from price inflation--the same SME 10 sold for $6K just a few years ago. That said, I do like that 'table and I'm sure yours sounds better with an SME V on it, although I think you'd get more out of your arm on a better table.
The Bardo has much more on the bottom end and just "rocks" more than the SME 10. Of course, it's DD so that's maybe no huge surprise. I suppose the SME is a bit more airy and delicate sounding (some would say "less exciting.")
I've never heard the Raven. The Bardo is worth seeking out--it may or may not be your cup of tea, but a very cool table nonetheless.
