Linn Basic LVX or Rega RB300 ?


I recently bought an older Linn LP12. It has a Basic LVX arm.
Would it make sense to replace the arm with an RB300 arm from my Rega P3 which has not been in use for 25 years.
Just wanted to play some vinyl again so the reason for the Linn.
Alternately there are many arms to choose from and wonder if a Linn Ittok LVll might be a more suited choice.
Thanks to all who can help make an easier decision.

Thank you all for your responses.The local dealer also suggests to stay with the Linn arms. I wanted to make use of the RB300 with the wire upgrade.So I am going to go with Bgregory and sell the Rega and get an Ittok.
I also don't know much about differences in compliance and how that relates the arm so I'm glad not to have bought a MC cartridge with the possiblilty that it may not work. The Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood or the Dynavector 10x5 are on the short list for pick-ups.Although the current Grado Sonata works very well.
First though is the arm.
