The 40mr stylus is high compliance, the 5 series plastic body is lighter...

.....than the 7 series metal body, which would seem to be in search of arms with low effective mass (6.4 grams vs 8.0 grams). Then again, too much is made of the primary cartridge/arm resonant frequency. It is the secondary, bell-like, arm resonances that most color the resulting sound.

The reason that audio types put so much emphasis on primary resonance is that it is fairly easy to measure at home, yielding some sense of security. Secondary resonances are harder to measure, but fall into the audible range.
