Cartridge Upgrade - Nagaoka or Goldring

Current set up:
Rega P2, Goldring E3, Rogue RP-1(built in phono), Rogue ST100, Martin Logan Montis.
I love the sound I get now, but looking to step up from the E3. Has anyone compared the Goldring E3 to 1042 and/or Nagaoka MP200? How about Goldring Eroica? 
Would the Nagaoka work on the P2?Would a difference be significant with any of these cartridges over the E3 using a built in phono in my Rogue preamp?

I listen to all kinds of music...from classical to heavy metal.

Thanks in advance!

I know that specs are not always everything and the Nagaoka gets good reviews. But I read the specs for 1042(Nude diamond line contact) and Eroica LX(elliptical) 

I like the sound of the E3 but have heard nothing else on my table except it and the stock Rega Carbon. So figured if I can get more of what the E3 offers in a more refined way, will probably be happy until I upgrade the table and a phono pre. I never heard of Pickering. Will research.
