Hi Charles,
The RB250 is a fine arm but the Audiomods Classic 3 will be a significant improvement on it.
You'll notice the superior bearing quality the 1st time you hand cue.
Wiring & counterweight mods can improve the RB but the Audiomods is a major redesign
with only the arm tube left, which is the Rega's strong point.
I did something similar a few years ago & was surprised at the overall sound improvements.

I can't speak to the differences between an AM arm and a Rega arm, but if upgrading the arm and/or getting the existing arm rewired, I would try to make sure the shielding on the arm cable is as good as possible.

I know that sometimes Rega arms have less than ideal shielding on the stock cabling. If you check some old threads here you may find some topics on cable shielding.
