cartridge for Pro-ject debut III

I want to get my brother a new cartridge for his birthday. I have been looking at the denon dl-103 but have been reading it works better with a high mass arm. any suggestions in the $200 range.

I guess what I am wondering is how much difference dose arm mass make in the performance of a given cartridge. The effective arm mass of the debut is 9.5 grams. I had read that the Denon DL-103 worked better around 15 to 20 grams effective mass. I can't seem to find a compliance spec for the Denon nor would I know how it translates to arm mass any help would be appreciated
