Can anyone suggest a good universal headshell?


Any guidance would be appreciated. I need some suggestions on a good aftermarket universal headshell, new, or used. I don't have the budget for an Orsonics, which would be my first choice. Table will be a Micro Seiki MR-711 and arm will be Micro MA-202L. Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Since I have a Technics SL-1200 my headshell is their stock one, which is lightweight and rigid magnesium (not heavy pot metal like the Stanton) with gold plated pins. What is the Orsonic and what are its distinguishing features that make it so desirable? The one thing I find inconvenient about the Technics is that its upper surface indentations for the cartridge screw heads are slightly too narrow for some, even though the slots themselves are wide enough.
I took a look at the Sumiko on the Web. The screw slots aren't intented on top, which I like. Too bad it lacks an integral finger-lift, is there a screw-down type that can be added onto the flat top?
