RE: congrats!

I'd recommend buying the mint lp protractor first. It allows you to align the cantilever much more accurately than the VPI jig does, and uses the genuine Baerwald geometry. (VPI's jig uses a proprietary set of null points that HW thinks sound better.). In my experience, the Mint will get rid of most sibilance (assuming you have tonearm height somewhere close to the level that allows the magic 92 degree stylus rake angle. I can't measure that directly since I don't have a microscope/camera/software, but my experience tells me most carts need to be slightly tail up.). You know you're right when bass is strong highs are clear, and s sounds are not spit across the soundstage.
