I would say so. The FG is shaped to give correct SRA when mounted in a straight cantilever rather than in the usual bent tip aluminium types. For it to give of its best requires the mounting in the cantilever to be perfect as well as perfect alignment by the user.
I was asking Kevin for his opinion on the Ortofon Stylus 30 (LC) compared to the Sylus 40 (FG) and his comment was that the LC seemed to be more forgiving of surface noise.
I've also noticed a trend towards slightly shorter contact radii (40um compared to 70um or larger) in recent model updates for AT (OC9 ML III has a 40um contact radius) and Ortofon are doing similar things with their midrange models. Maybe it's my imagination, but I'm surprised that the Shibata is also making a comeback. The Ortofon Black models all use Shibata rather than Replicant.
