Your choice of arm should be based on the cartridge(s) used, or vice-versa. Look for threads by Raul regarding the importance of matching cartridge and arm.
This begins with the arm mass/cartridge compliance optimization but based on Raul's experience, it can go further with specific synergisms.
At the time the SME III was being sold I recall that Shure was their importer so I expect that should be a good match. However the MMT might match well with a greater number of cartridges since it is closer to medium mass than the low mass III.
