SME 20/2A set up

Hello
I have just set up my new SME 20/2A and the SME V arm(headshell) overhangs the front of the turntable by aprox 1 inch.This seems odd as the cartridge could be knocked quite easily.
Can a fellow 20/2A owner confirm this is normal.
I have set up sme arms before so I know what I'm doing but I have never seen a 20/2A "in the flesh" to compare.
Thanks
Ian

Thanks everyone for the overhang info - much appreciated.
I've just upgraded from a model 10 which tended to be simpler to set up.
Thanks also for the advice on trying the ball bearing tip - I'll give it a go.
Cheers

Well now I'd like to know from you kind gentlemen ( i'm presuming mainly males inhabit this knowledgable place) do all four suspension posts have to be adjusted to exactly the same height ?
I have levelled the base with the feet, but to get the platter level I have to have the posts slightly different heights.
I know the SME instructions are kinda foolproof,but it makes out that you use the spacer to get 3mm gaps all round- if i do this the platter is not level.
Any tips / advice will be very welcome.
Thanks in advance.
