Ortofon AS-212 (used) vs Jelco sa-750L (new), any experienced opinions?

Anyone care to voice their opinion on these 2 arms? The AS-212 will drop into my Lenco L-75 (I think) tonearm hole, the SA-750L would require a new hole in the plinth, which is not a big deal since I'm building it anyway. Will I hear any difference in these arms on my Lenco?

Is there an arm in the price range of these that is without a doubt better?

I'm focusing on using a Denon 103 and Dynavector 20X with these arms.

My system is Lenco to Bottlehead Seduction to Bottlehead Foreplay to Mitsubishi DA-A30 to ADS L-880 speakers. I have a set up transformer for the Denon 103.

Yep, it will drop all the way down. It actually requires an adapter. There's a guy from Portugal who sells Tecaform adapters on eBay (no affiliation). It's a great tonearm, it's only weakness is the polymer composing the vertical bearing housing. It could deteriorate and fall apart as a result of any minor impact. I don't know about the DL-103 though... It would surely match the AS-212 but the one cart the original Lenco tonearm can actually be superb for, is the 103.
