The TD 150 is a fine deck, and yes very similar to the lp12. I currently own an LP12 and I am refurbishing a TD150. I know that a Rega arm will overload the springs on the suspension of a TD150. I have heard of people using the springs from a LP12 to overcome this.
My personal opinion of the stock rega arm is pretty low. The wiring that they use sounds so bad. I think that if you plan on using this arm you will be very dissapointed in the sound. But it sounds like you might be game for a wire replacement. It is a very easy process (well soldering the cartridge clips can be a pain!), and will make your rega sound outstanding. A mod'ed TD150 and a mod'ed RB250, IMHO, should be a sweet little setup.
