One thing that I do not think has been mentioned is aligning the magnet structures within the cartridge. THAT truly affects sound. If you have too much or too little weight, the structures do not align, dynamic passages on the LP can cause the magnets to ride well above or well below where they can generate a signal.
That is why that last 1/10 of a gram is so important. Your stylus may not mistrack, but it cannot generate the signal in a linear fashion.
VTF is more than just "tracking weight."
As for the counterweight itself, it is generally believed that the CLOSER you can get the counterweight to the pivot point, the ease of how both vertical and horizontal movement is heightened...i.e., better tracking.
