SME iV.Vi or SME V for SME 20 turntable?

Hi all,
Could anyone please tell me which arm is prefered for the SME 20/2 turntable? What are the major differences between these tonearms? SME official website says that the SME 20/2A includes the V tonearm (for better compatibility?) BUT people at Sumiko say the iV.Vi is prefered, so i am a little confused. It would be great to hear from SME combo users themselves
Also, anyone bought the combo SME 20/2 and iV.Vi arm can tell me if this one comes complete with tonearm cable or it has to be bought seperately? If the cable doesnt come with it, any recommendation on tonearm cable for the iV.Vi?

Greatly appreciate.

fwiw, the damping mechanism came with 20/2a iv.vi i bought a few months ago. my dealer thought it was an option, but it came standard.

my dealer, whose a long time sme user himself, recommended i get the cardas reference gold cable. it all sounds great, but i haven't tied other cables.
