Send your table back, get the total eclipse package which is a new DC motor, drive and regulator. Also get the new platter and bearing. The new bearing has no thrust plate. The platter sits on opposing magnetic fields like the better clear audio tables.
Keep the SME V. The only arm I would consider in that table otherwise would be the Kuzma 4 point 9 for lower compliance cartridges. These two arms are superior to any of the arms you mention.
