Best Cart for Delphi VI with SME V tonearm

My Oracle Delphi VI Turntable will arrive a week from now with SME V tonearm.
I am now hunting for a new cart to replace my 3 years old ortofon a90 which i have used for my Michell Orbe with sme v arm for 3 years also.

My system is Dynaudio Temptation , Pass Labs Xa 100.5 power amp , Modwright 36.5 DM tube preamp and Avid Pulsare phonstage with Transparent Ultra Cables and Voodo Power Chords.

My shortlist are :

Lyra Kleos
Air Tight PC 3
Dynavector XV1s
Ortofon Mc Anna
Air Tight PC 1

Other suggestions and comments are welcome.

I used to use an Air Tight PC1 on my SME V. It was well balanced with good body and weight, and plenty of detail. Not as lean and ultra detailed as some and not as warm and forgiving as others. It struck a good balance. I found it to be an excellent match with that arm. I have since upgraded to a Supreme on an SME V-12.

I'm curious, if you have an expensive cartridge on your list like the Ortofon Anna, why not consider the Air Tight Supreme or the Lyra Atlas? Your list has quite a range of prices.
