I have both a Concorde and Super OM body. I've noticed no peculiar interactions among styli between them. My impression is that the Super OM body is electrically different than the older Concorde body, but the styli are the same and interchangeable, at least as far as I know. The 'problem' with the Concorde is that you won't be able to adjust alignment, if that is an issue for you.
That's what I thought and still believe. The Ortofon guy said there could be problens though, because of those "electrical differences".
The damping thing is a tradeoff
IME the only bad consequence of the damper was that a few scratched records, which played with one or two skips, can now play with three or four, because the needle don't want to leave the groove and desires to follow every path.
I've not found yet a record that played without a skip and now won't though, I guess I'm lucky.
