Check mounting holes.

The Ergotron LX's typing stability is noticeably better, and the four-point tension system holds position more precisely over time. The price premium is justified if you type on the same desk as the monitor and want a stable screen. If you primarily need height adjustment convenience and stability is secondary, the Fully Jarvis gas spring is a genuine advantage.

The Fully Jarvis has a slightly larger height adjustment range. More importantly, gas spring adjustment (Jarvis) is effortless and one-handed. Ergotron's spring tension requires deliberate repositioning with slight force. For users who adjust height multiple times per day, the Jarvis is more convenient.

Less than budget arms, more than Ergotron LX. The gas spring design allows more flex under typing vibration than Ergotron's four-point tension system. With a 27-inch monitor at moderate arm extension, the wobble is minor and acceptable for most users. With a 32-inch monitor at maximum extension, the wobble is more noticeable.

The 20 lb capacity handles most 32-inch monitors (typically 14-18 lbs). The arm is stable at this weight without tension drift. At 32 inches, there is minor flex in the arm under typing, more than the Ergotron LX, less than budget alternatives.

Most monitor arms use a desk clamp that tightens around the desk edge, no drilling required. A grommet mount (which requires a hole in the desk) is an optional alternative that provides a more rigid connection, but the clamp mount works well for most desks.
