Best Ortofon?

I'm ordering a Rega P1 with a Rega MM Phono Pre (used). The P1 comes with the Ortofon 5E cartridge. As I understand it, that cartridge has the same electronics as the 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40, so I'm thinking of upgrading by just buying a new stylus. The prices are:
15 for $60
20 for $100
(30 for $140)

I'm probably going to do the 15 or 20. Do you think these are a big improvement over the 5? Is the 20 a big improvement over the 15?

I'm also thinking of the glass platter upgrade for $69. Will it be a noticeable difference, esp versus the stylus upgrade?

If thats your price range. I'm currently sold on the 2M Red, I know its not a nude eliptical, but I am blown away with its performance.

and Like Ekobesky said, when you out grow the Red you can just upgrade the stylus to the Blue or Bronze with practially no effort.
