The AR is a suspended subchassis design right ? I say keep it !
Go for the arm option & then the cartridge Then the motor upgrade (I'm saving for that one as I write this). It's just an opinion but I think that suspended decks rule and you could do all sorts of other inexpensive things like damp the inside of the plinth / the subchassis with cork mat while you fit with the arm / replace the springs & grommets etc.

I think the mitchel clamp is universal (again, I'm about to find out myself).

Even if you decide to upgrade the deck later you'll still have a great arm for it. You may get what you're after & not want to replace the deck once you've wrung all the performance out of it !

You could even do what I'm trying at the moment & try casting your own plinth out of mineral loaded resin,finishing it in carbon & separating the motor from the rest of the plinth in a lead loaded casting. I just finished the mould walls & I'm ready to pour this weekend. Moment of truth !

Good luck.
