VPI TNT HRX table - what tonearms?

I just bought, but have not yet picked up, a VPI TNT HRX turntable, which comes with a VPI JMW 12.5 tonearm. I also have a Graham 2.2 arm and a SME IV arm. Assuming I had the proper armboards, would either of these be superior to the JMW? Would other tonearms be superior to the JMW with this table?

Dear Suttlaw: With your Koetsu cartridge the SME IV will be the best. BTW, I think that you can really do a great improvement in your analog system if you choose to change your cartridge for a better one.
Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Cmo: I think that in your system is a better choice the Dynavector XV-1, Koetsu RSP or Benz Micro Ruby 3, instead of the ZYX: this one is not at the same quality sound reproduction level of the others, maybe the next generation of ZYX cartridges can be at the top but not now.
Regards and enjoy the music.
