Design factors determine PU tracking (plus arm mechanics) but if, ideally, you can't cleanly trace the groove @/near manufacturers lower-end specs then there's something wrong/inappropriate; and subsequent 70's low-mass arms extended that range even further (ie SME/III compared to Series 2).
So it's tedious to encounter endless Old Wives' claims that a max weight is required: an ADC XLMII/III, in an optimal arm, requires ~1g:- there's no advantage in tracking (<)50% heavier (excepting theoretical beyond normal velocities) but manufacturers do widen their spec for sub-optimal 'good' arms ...and provide lesser models.
Nor, in the case of ADC/Shure, should you need worry about inherent suspension degradation over many decades storage.
