High level MC or step up?


I will soon be in possession of a ARC SP-16 with a build-in phono stage (min 1 mV), and I have just discover that my current cartridge is a low level MC (0.2mV) that SP-16 would most likely not be able to drive. Should I go with a new high-level MC or a step-up transformer?

I'd go with a step up tranny - get a quality one, like the AudioNote AN-S2. Used ones have turned up here on A'gon from time to time.
