Garrott Optim Ruby FGS cartridge - Technics SL1210


I have a Technics SL1210 (the black SL1200) and also a Garrott Optim Ruby FGS cartridge: see http://www.decibelhifi.com.au/prod474.htm for info.
I pretty sure that the standard Technics arm will baulk at having to deal with the Garrott (and I'm equally sure that there are Audiogon folk who think I'm nuts for buying a Technics AND then putting the Garrott on there!), so I've bought a mounting plate to allow another arm to be fitted. (see other posts)
So, the plate allows for either a Rega (I have my eye on either an RB1000 or RB900) or Origin Live model (I'm thinking the Silver model).
Does anyone have a take on which arm would be more suitable for the Garrott?

Please post your impressions of the 2M when you can. I'm using the Garrott FGS in my Scout/JMW9 and am very impressed with it's performance. However, you always wonder about the new kid on block.
