Curved and Straight Tonearms

Yes, I meant straight up to the headshell. Other than less tracking error, any other pros or cons?

My question was prompted by the TAS review of the Technics SL-1200G in their current issue. I'm looking for a table under $3500, not vintage. I like Rega products, but I want to be able to use different cartridges and adjust VTA without using shims. I currently use an Exact 2 in my Rega.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.  

Raul, based on what I have learned over the last few years, I would also prefer a fixed pivot.
I am the original owner of 2 Shure cartidges: V15 Type V-MR and V15 Type V, both with Jico styli. I use these on my Denon DP 52-F.
For my Rega, I have the Elys that came with the table and a newer Exact 2 that I use now.
Like I mentioned earlier in this thread, I like Rega, but I want to move to a table with adjustable VTA. 
BTW, thanks to all who responded, very enlightening. 

Yes, I am interested in your thoughts. Thanks.

@billstevenson  Thanks for your thoughtful reply. My original question related to pros and cons of each type of arm and your comments are certainly in that vein. I know all of this can be very subjective and system/room dependent. I want to experiment a little with different cartridges and your "ease of use" comment relating to the Technics is something I need to consider. And please, to the group. I don't want to start a war of VPI versus Technics. I know VPI makes great tables. But, at my advanced age ease of use is a plus.   

Yes, it has.
