low mass tone arm suggestion sub $1k used


I’m adding another tone arm to my Garrard table. looking for a low mass arm 9" or 10", preferably with out the wires going through the bottom of the arm mount but not critical. I’d like to spend less then $1k used (I may stretch that for a quality used-new arm if a great deal lets say max $2k). This is not for supper critical listening I just want a low mass option for random low mass carts, I may run my older VDH MC 10 on it for example. I have a 12" Jelco 750L as my main arm but I don’t think the Jelco arms are particularly light enough for the low mass carts out there. So any suggestions used or new for that matter would be appreciated.

Low mass toneram? Denon DA 401 or Sme 3009 series III these are the first names that come to mind.
I’ve heard that EPA-100 is better than EPA-500


maybe it’s just more versatile and does not need to change the barrels depending on the head.

Bearings and tolerances for mg.are the same for both.
