MONO cartridge

I am about to throw a second arm on my Nottingham and am looking for suggestions regarding a MONO cartridge. I've heard several dozen stereo cartridges in the last few years but it's been a couple hundred years since I've entertained the idea of a mono pickup. I had a Shure and once that was good - a Stanton that was less so as I recall. How about today? Let's say $500 or less. Obliged. Oh, I am going to be using a RB250 on the mono side for now.

Ed, thanks. Yeah, I'm not sure I want to go too high on the mono cart at this point. Maybe the idea would be to buy a good used one from someone trustyworthy and then maybe upgrade later (which is probably inevitable)

FWIW, I learned from an Immedia rep yesterday that Lyra is about to come out with a new mono cartridge which reportedly excellent and will retail in the $700 range. It is supposed to be close to the Helikon mono for a cheaper price.
