Default tonearm mass and imaging

If we were not to be concerned with tracking warped or off-centre
records, would a heavy tonearm produce a better image?

I ask because it would be logical that the heavier the arm, the less
resonances in the audio band (real world) and more punch, due to the
increased inertia of the arm.

lighter arms tend to vibrate more, and dissipate energy.

has anybody done side-by side comparisons?
