Lyra Kleos and VPI Aries 3 - will this work

I'm considering a trade-up to an Aries 3 from a Scoutmaster. And I'd like recommendations on a suitable cartridge.
I was leaning to the Kleos but have read reports that the Lyras aren't a good match with VPI arms because of sibilance problems.
Anyone using a Lyra on a VPI table?

Thanks,

Yes, an investment of $8k for a table/arm/cart is a SERIOUS question for me.

Thanks for the input.
My Scoutmaster has some miles on it & I can trade it toward the Aries 3.
The Lyra Kleos will bust my budget butÂ…

Good listening to all.

Buconero117,
I'm staying with the VPI line because of my investment in these transferable upgrades: Classic Aluminum Platter and Bearing, Periphery Ring Clamp, HR-X Stainless Steel Center Weight, and SDS Motor Drive.

I'm trading my Scoutmaster as stock and keeping the upgrades.

Maybe my next table will be from a different manufacturer.

I really like the Ring Clamp for warped records. The SDS drive is easy to use & is a great antidote for the crappy power in this area.
