Cartridge allignment nightmares...HERE WE GO AGAIN!

I'm putting a Grado Prestige Silver on a Pioneer PL-15D II. On the plinth is an overhang guide. I set the stylus tip according to the overhang and placed the turntablebasics mirrored protractor on the platter. Using a laster pointer, I aligned the sight line with the center of the spindle. THE OVERHANG GUIDE ON THE PIONEER IS WAAYY OFF from the protractor.

So what do I do????

True or False: Ignore the Pioneer overhang checker and go with the turntable basics protractor. Pioneer was a Japanese made table that was using a different alignment geometry(like Grace, Rega, etc) than the turntablebasics standard unit. Either one is okay to use, but the turntable basics allows for greater accuracy because of the grid and mirrored surface.
