Money well spent

I have the same table. I would make sure I had the  BEST phonostage I could afford and go up a level with the LOMC.

The Classic is worthy of a more upscale cart than the Benz Ace.

I have used a Benz Glider, Sumiko Blackbird and Audio Technica OC9III/ART 9. To my ears, in my system, the ART9 is a winner.

The ART9 has remained on my table for over a year.
If you get maximum resale and only have to cough up the difference for the Prime, it may be a good move. 
I still would seriously consider phono stage/LOMC.


 

"It is the front mount motor and i truly like it ,its on 2"audiopoints and sounds great I do believe the cart is the next step of course if i stay put."

Are you using/considered the motor controllers?(SDS,Phoenix)  
Without it, you're not hearing 33.3. I would like to use one, but the version I have 
is the AC regen. Can't use without a VPI motor mod.

assuming your speaker setup/room is optimal, considering a serious cart without appropriate next level phono stage may be 
shortchanging your final choice in carts. 

My experience going from a good 1K level phono SS, to a $2500 tubed was profound. Naturally subjective, all tube just seems most realistic. I'm know SS at the same level is amazing,(and quieter) I prefer tubes.
