1. I wouldn't worry much about alignment with this cartridge. The Elys2 has 3 screws so it's automatically aligned when you get it connected at all 3 points. Sure, there's a little play in there, but not enough to worry about.2. I wouldn't worry about stylus rake angle, vertical tracking angle or azimuth, either. This stuff is all fixed with the Rega design.
3. I would rely on Rega's recommendation for anti-skating force. Using a blank band on a record to make the stylus stand still is a method that is generally not agreed upon as reliable.
4. I would trust Rega's tracking force recommendation and try to really hit it on the nose. But if you want to try a little more force, something like 1.9 certainly isn't going to harm your records. Failing that, I'd suggest a better cartridge. Many fans of Rega turntables don't care for Rega cartridges. A non-Rega cartridge will, however, likely cause you to have to deal with a change in the tracking angle, since most cartridges are taller.
