Need recommendations for dark, robust sounding 12" tonearm

I have spent some time with the Rega RB300 tonearm and it seems to sound dark and chunky....warm bass, smooth-ish highs, not the last word in detail or air, but I prefer a very lush and laid back sound with nice bass punch. Now I want to experiment with a long, 12" broadcast type tonearm. I'd prefer something newer or that is even still being manufactured such as the Jelco stuff, Tonearm Audio, Tri Art, etc. I would like the arm to cost under $1000 and preferably closer to $500-600. I have never heard a longer than standard tonearm in my system and I don't know where to start. What is the 12" tonearm that everyone complains is too warm sounding? I'll take that one.
