cartridge for SME III

Hi, I always wanted a Sme III and I finally found one with the black titanium arm wand , I was told this is the latest in production. I have a Sure M97xe to use for now but want something better. I have a Signet transformer # MK12T so a mm or mc are both options, I also have a Monster Sigma Genesis 2000 Mk II cartridge that needs a stylus , I would spend up to $ 600.00 for a new cart or would I be better off to send the monster to Soundsmith? What do you use or suggest all opions appreciated . THANKS David.

Ok, found the Longhorn mod. I'm looking for a high compliance cart for the SME III that is neutral with very good bass slam. I've been told a wood body Grado would be ideal. Any other suggestions?

Oh, don't want to break the bank either......

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, quite possible. Doesn't the SME Series III use Stevenson's alignment? If this is true, then that would mean I can't use the turntable basics protractor, or most protractors for that matter.....

help....

I also just got one of these. Mine is the original version with the shiny arm tube. I also have the Ortofon integrated arm/cart. I was thinking about a Grado Sonata or Master to put on this.
