Sorry, but I have to tell you that you do have it backwards on the skating forces. Just Google for a force diagram. Another way to know is to look at how the anti-skating force is applied in arms using the weight, pulley and monofilament line approac...

and as far as VTA (SRA) goes I'm for the latter. I read Romy's short contribution and it is what I do, find a good average VTA for a cart --- do some more minor corrections and voila.If I had to change VTA for every record I'd give up vinyl, mayb...
