Allaerts make superlative cartridges.  You're in fine shape sir, the options and considerations for arms at 9-15 gram effective mass are extensive.   Although it might not be ideal on paper, a heavy arm, like the Fidelity Research FR64s might work quite well, although you would have to listen and see.  I was always surprised at how many cartridges are compatible with these legendary arms.
