Jelco tonearm for Colibri Gold LW cartridge


Dear,
I am considering the Jelco SA-750D ARM

http://www.jelco-ichikawa.co.jp/e_tone_arm.htm

for Colibri Gold LW cartridge. The effective mass of this tonearm is 20 grams. Do you think this tonearm would work well considering the fact the cartridge is only 5 grams?

Thank you

Hi
How is SME m2-9 in your opinion, it's effective mass I believe is about 9.5 grams?
Or should I look at something else?
Thank you

Folks, thank you for responses.
My budget is about $1500 +/-.
Speaking about SME 309 I guess mine not so clever approach doesn't get it to my heart just by the way it looks. I like more should I say conservative or old-fashioned style?
Ortofon RS-212D (cheapest I was able to find was $2375 new which is too much of a stretch for me) , AS-212S, TA-110 look good too but I couldn't find any. I found an older version - AS-212i (used) for $1060 and same new for $1545.
And Ortofon quotes an effective mass for these to be 3.5 grams! (without cartridge). If you can shed any comments on those, please...
Another one I was looking for would be Koetsu but I only found 10 inch, I only can accomodate around 225 mm.

Anatoliy
Yes, I am going to try other ones.
I had Grado Reference (old stock), purchased it in April, presumably not used. Installed on Oracle Audio TT with Rega 300 that came with it.

Then I thought - rather then trying all sorts of things with Grado I will get my hands on a couple of other ones.
So - I bought Acutex M 320, this is the MM type, just got it a few days ago, have not tried it yet. I also bought Ortofon Windfeld and Colibri LW - didn't receive them yet. So as you guys can imagine, given my very limited knowledge in audio hardware, I have some fun I have to go through. The good thing - I like to listen to music (no wonder!).
But anyway - I guess I will have to get one arm for Colibri and probably another one that will go well with Windfeld. I was thinking about some arm from Ortofon if I can find good condition used one may be RS-212D?
The goal being - make up my mind in terms what I want to keep. I may keep a couple, hard to say right now. So this is where I am.
Thank you for the ideas you through out there.
Regards
Folks,
Just came across Sumiko MDC 800 for $1000, made in 1987 in the US.
Comes with H counterweight.
Can not find this information so far - what difference L and H weights make for the effective mass of the arm?
As I mentioned I need the arm for Colibri LW and from what I found so far on audiogon some people say it should match nicely, leave along the fact that it is a nice arm
If somebody would care to extend there opinion would be very greatful. Another option I am copnsidering at the moment is the Oracle SME 345 (I have Oracle Paris old one TT)
Thank you
Anatoliy
OK - I found the info about the counterweights at http://www.vinylengine.com/library/sumiko/mdc-800-arm.shtml
Looks like I will need to get myself either L or M weights to match the Colibri LW. Or well...
