Is the Dynavector XX-2 really an upgrade for me?

I have a Transrotor 25/25/60 with an SME 309 tonearm and a Shelter 501MKII cartridge and have been looking at the Dynavector XX-2. I have read that they really have some synergy with SME tonearms. However, the reviews have been with the SME IVs and Vs and I wonder whether the XX-2 is overkill for the 309.

So, 2 questions result. One, is the XX-2 worth the additional outlay considering I already have the 501? Two, if it is, will I realize the benefits on a 309?

TIA.

Thanks for your reply. My 309 is a magnesium bodied tonearm. So, that being the case, it has more in common with the Seies IV and V that it does not, correct? So, taken one step further, the XX-2 will have much of the same operating qualities!

Raul,

Thanks. The 90X is out of my price range, however. So, if the XX-2 and 90X are fairly close, then I will go with the XX-2. Funny, the 901 has not been mentioned!?!?
