To the Old School Tonearm Guys are the Newer very expensive Tonearms as Good as Claimed?

Lets be honest Tone Arm technology has advanced quite a bit and improved with the laser technology and laser precision manufacturing equipment. But the proof will be in the sound. 
So who here is old school that can safely day Modern day super precision Tonearms are more superior sonically in every aspect over the older well regarded Tonearms of the past like Sme, Audio Technica, Empire, Stax, Jelco, Thorens, Emt, Decca, Ortofon, Stax, Saec, Sumiko, Micro, FR, Rega, Technics etc

The availability on eBay is some indication for the succes of

whatever item. One can find TW 10.5 each time one looks at

 the German site ''audio-markt'' . This presuppose owners

who are willing to part from this tonearm.

This should count as one less from those ''many'' you mentioned.

@vinny55 , the job of old and new tonearms is not to ''sound''

but to allow given  cartridge to sound at its best.
