What cartridge on your VPI prime?


I own a VPI prime, I installed a denon 103 R and I had never change the cart due to lack of funds. Now I want to upgrade my analog ring to the same level of my digital.
I have been considering based on reviews.

1- ortofon quintet
2- charisma MC2
3-ortofon black
4-kiseki blue.
5- rega alpheta 2.

I would appreciate any inputs from your end about cartridge selection and phono associated currently I am using graham slee reflex M.
Kind regards and thank you.

Hey John if you want I'll trade you, the 2m Black with fit as is:).  Let us know how you like the Cadenza Bronze, it's on my radar.  
I have a Classic Signature with the same arm, platter, bearing, and motor as the Prime.  I also have the Denon 103r which is good for the money but the 2m Black is fantastic with this arm/table. I am using the phono section of a Mcintosh C1000.   I have heard good things as well about the Quintet.  No experience with the other carts.
