Decca London Reference- SME V, FR 64s or FR 64 fx?


Hi,
I just bought a Decca London Reference cartridge, and I am a bit doubtful about which arm would be the best match. 
There is a thread about the London Reference and arms on this forum, but it ended without any conclusion. Has anybody had any experience with this cartridge mounted in any of the arms mentioned?
Thanks

Thanks for the info!
I would like to limit the choices to one of the arms mentioned, as I already own them.
What confuses me is that everybody seems to recommend a well- damped medium-heavy arm, and that sounds like the SME V to me, and the FR 64 s doesn’t really fit that bill at all.
I guess that the answer to my question will be "try it out, and see what you like the best", and that I will.
Still, any input will be appreciated.

Thank you.
The FR 64 S will have to wait. Wrong counterweight, too heavy , can't get the cartridge balanced out. Mounted it in the SME V, and it sounds very good there.

Thanks, the London Reference sounds pretty good in the SME V . With a bit of tweaking with vta, damping and stylus pressure, the harsh sibilants are gone and the bass is formidable. A really fun cartridge!
