Record Clamp for Well Tempered Turntable

I know this issue has been discussed a number of times on this forum, but I still need help. I have a Well Tempered Turntable Classic TT and use a Well Tempered record clamp, not the Reference Clamp, but not the small one either. I think my clamp is somewhere in between the two (it's bigger than the standard small clamp, but smaller than the Reference). It screws down on the record nicely.
I've been looking at other options, Sota Reflex; JA Michell, etc.
My questions are: Would any of these be a substantial improvement over my Well Tempered clamp? Anyone using these (or others) with a Well Tempered Turntable?
Thanks!

Yes, the WTT spindle is threaded, but the threads are on the inside of the spindle. Don't know if that matters, but it might make clamps usable.

I'm also considering a record mat, but not sure about that either. As for the Reference clamp, I might go that way, but its been difficult communicating with WT and been trying to find something less expensive!!!

Thanks Mitch, good to know. I had tried to contact Stanalog a few times w/o success. Glad to hear they're still around.
BTW do you use a mat?

OK, so that's decided: No mat and I'll get the Reference Clamp. I have, however, been considering upgrading from my Grado Platinum cartridge to something nicer. Been looking at the Lyra Dorian or the ZYX R 1000. What cartridges have you experienced that are well-matched the table?
