New TT or new Cart? Technics content


Signal chain:
Fully upgraded KAB Technics 1200 / AT 440 MLA
Parasound Hint6 (integrated Phono)
DIY Mogami Cables
KEF LS50 (w/ PSA subwoofer)

Options that i'm considering: 
With the full TT upgrades, I likely have the equivalent of the 1200GR (to within an acceptable range).  I guess the first question would be - can I get more performance out of this setup with a new cart?  Thinking AT150MLX, Hana SL, etc. 

1200G?  Most costly, probably need a matching cart.  Probably the biggest exponential jump in terms of performance. 

Dual subwoofers?  KEF / REL?  The hint6 will drive 2 separately.  I'm currently using HT Bypass and running a single sub.

What do you think is the best bang for the buck upgrade?

Dear @martinman : There is no doubt that you should go for the subwoofer. "   something more musical ", the issue is not musical but a true subwoofer with quality level second to none and a true sub must go deeper than 20hz with low distortion levels and obviously quality sound.

There are several alternatives for subs this one is really good and both comes by HSU that maybe in the subs area knowledge is second to none. That its low price don’t distress you, HSU is not a bub-bum unit but a sub with really high quality bass level performance. Probably only Velodyne is at its level ( I own a " little " older pair Velodyne ) but at little higher price. You need two of either model showed here:
