I hate to bring this up, really I do because it wouldn't concern me much if I were you, but for cartridges there is unfortunately no standard distance between screw holes for mounting to a headshell and stylus tip. Therefore, on a turntable/tonearm set-up where the pivot position is fixed AND the holes in the headshell are holes and not slots that make it possible to compensate for different screw to stylus tip distances, you'll often be working with an erroneous overhang setting, depending upon your choice of cartridge. I am sure you know all this, and I don't mean to rain on your parade. I myself am not very anal about set-up, sad to admit.
