Opinions on Jelco arms anybody?

Wondering if anybody is using a Jelco arm on their turntable, which one, and what they're like?

I use a 750E (10.5") as an alternative arm on my main deck.
Allows plenty of flexibility as to cartridge, from SPU to DL-103 and more.
Should come with 2 counter weights allowing greater range of cartridge/headshell weights.
What Chris said about the cable, their own Neglex is not shabby.
Also re-iterate advice re aftermarket mounting collar.
See here for more info on that.
Think I recall some recent remarks indicating this series of arms is soon to be discontinued and or replaced.
Plenty of folk were fitting the 750D to Technics a few years back and suitable armboards should be fairly easy to find.
...couldn't help myself, had to go looking :(   - some more impressions on VE

Just my feeling, but I think I might prefer a hardwood armboard to a metal one, or isolate the metal one from the plinth with small "O" rings around the plate mounting screws between the plate and the plinth to reduce ringing.
I expect you can make up your own arm cable with a DIN plug too.
