Cartridge around $2K help.


Looking for cartridge to use while my Dyna XV-1s heads off for a rebuild. Would like something around $2000.00, that I can use while its gone. I will only buy new. Would like something a little different than the Dyna, it will be used with a Michell Gyro SE MKII with SME V arm, and BAT VK-P10 phonostage.
MC/MM/MI low or high output.
A few I am thinking of are
Music Maker Classic
Grado Statement Reference1
Soundsmith "the voice"
Lyra Kleos
Any thoughts or sonic opinions?
Thanks!

I heard the Kleos on a friend's system recently and I was very impressed by the musicality and detail retrieval. I am also a fan of Lyra carts, owning both Argo i and Helkon. A Kleos or Skala will be my next replacement cartridge.
