Seeking arm suggestions for a Grace F9R


I recently bought an F9 body and a SoundSmith Ruby OCL stylus. I currently have it mounted on an Acos Lustre GST-801 with a 7gr headshell but still a bit heavy with the resonance is in the 7 hz range. I'm liking it's sound and contemplating changing arms. Any F9 owners willing to make suggestions of great matching arms for it. (no 12" please)
Thanks,

@keemoment Then please add a link to the forum or a link to the picture. I don't have F9, but this is bras shank of my F12 and it's better made stylus replacement than F9. There is a brass nut to protect tension wire, but on F9 there is a drop of glue to fix tension wire.   

Tried, but couldn’t track down the link to the image. I see that another user at Audiokarma more recently has examined, but not shown the innards of the F9E’s shank. He says, and I quote :

Q: Is that a magnet on the back? If so, this design is moving iron and moving magnet sort of.

Yep. A tiny, fairly strong one on the back of what I think is a permalloy tube. The cantilever is epoxied into that tube, and the magnet attaches with its own magnetic force to the back end. It's interesting that this design is substantially different than the other F-9 styli assemblies: The ruby has no tie wire at all. Its only point of contact is with the elastomer suspension that the very base of the cantilever is pressed up against (maybe assisted with some sort of fixative?). I am pretty certain that the rest of the F-9 styli have a tie wire in addition to the elastomer, and that the tie wire was probably terminated in the drop of green goop on the back end of the F-9 stylus assemblies. I'd like to disassemble a stylus, but the one i have has a nice clean break that would be easy to graft - so I'm nit sure I want to sacrifice that one or not...
 
The point is the F9E stylus assembly is unique, and third party products won’t have, quite obviously, the same desired results. Here’s an image of the SS and original assemblies taken off, not ideally, my cellphone camera.
