Cartridge upgrade for $600

Hi-
My TT is an Origin Live Aurora with Silver arm MkII. I currently use an Ortofon 2M Blue ($199). I want to increase detail and soundstage, and maybe try a MC cartridge for the first time. What do you recommend I consider? My amp is MF with built in phono (switchable) driving Usher speakers. Thanks in advance.

In general, I hear a certain lack of dynamics / punch with high-output Mc cartridges, as compared to top-tier MM or MI cartridges (Grado, Garrott, Clearaudio).
I hope this helps, if dynamic range is a priority.
