Even on the "good" previous ones the counter-weight arrangement is, I still think, a mite "tacky"
Far as I can tell the pillar looks the same, just un-threaded. Most logical mod then is do away with the the 3-point and arrange some sort of clamp device for the pillar. If not actually go so far as to cut a thread on it.

The Rega website is not helpful. I didn't realise the new arms still had a base pillar because their images exclude them and just show what the punter would see above the plinth surface. For me even that is an omission of essential information which is not helpful. Regardless, I just can't believe the new design will be embraced by industry users with the same enthusiasm for the previous models, regardless of performance. If they don't look good, they'll not sell IMHO.
Quite, and since the pillar still exists, still think it would be worth looking into some sort of alternative supporting sleeve arrangement which could include a locking grub screw. Hey presto, VTA adjustment!
