Basis Vector cartridge recommendations

Looking for some advice from the analog experts for a cartridge, running a Basis 2200 signature, Vector 4 tonearm with an Allnic 3000 phono stage, CJ Premier 14, Mac 501 amps and all Kubala- Sosna cabling. I have used an ortofon jubilee for 7 years or so and thinking about a change. short list:

Ortofon cadenza black - slightly concerned it might be too revealing with my Thiels and music preference - classic rock, blues, jazz.....

Ortofon bronze
Transfiguration Proteus
Lyra - never have moved me but limited experience

Any suggestions would be appreciated since auditions in my room are impossible. Thanks.

Dear Pops, would you please report about your long term experience with the Proteus, as I intend to buy one for either my Kuzma with Airline or for the Brinkmann Balance with Breuer tonearm. 
Maybe someone have some experiences with these gear and Transfiguration?
Or perhaps someone who had compared the ZYX Universe with the Proteus???
thanks very much!

Hi Breezer, could not be happier with the Proteus.  It is a great match for the Vector 4 tonearm and Allnic phono stage.  I have no experience with your tonearm choices but can say with confidence the Proteus is a long term pleaser!  Good luck.
