Tonearm for Denon DL-103R

I just purchased a Denon DL-103R cartridge and started to research a tonearm and got confused.
The specification for compliance at 5 appears to be closer to 9 instead according to some people who say the way that Denon specifies compliance in a different way than other manufacturers.
The fact is that with the value of 5 a compatible tonearm that will produce a desirable resonance between 9 and 11 with this cartridge is very difficult to find, EMT and Fidelity Research are the 2 that come to mind, and they are very expensive, but specially, these tonearms will limit you in turn in the ability to get cartridges in the future to a very few with probably very elevated prices.
I know a lot has been said in this forum about the DL-103R but I would like to get information from owners with successful systems that will guide me better to buy a new or used tonearm, I am interested in all prices to be able to make an educated decission.
6 Moons reviewed the Denon DL-103R with an Origin Live Silver 3, go figure, I saw other comments from people using the SME 5 and other medium mass tonearms.
