I thought the main reason for the 997's length was to be able to play 16" transcription records on the 927's 43cm platter.
The 930 was for records up to 12" and came with (in later years) an appropriate length tonearm - the 929.
It seems that if tracking error had been a significant issue the EMT would have used the 997 on both.
I must admit however that I think 12" tonearms have a visual appeal and the curved arc of the 997's wand is a great design.
