Cartridge upgrade

Time to upgrade my turntable with a new cartridge.
The player is a Thorens TD160 B with SME Series III (Low-Mass 9 "Tonearm) today I have a Nagaoka MP-110.

Thinking of an Audio Technica VM750SH (replacing model 150) has anyone listened to this combo?
Any suggestions on other Cartridge that would fit my tone arm? (Price between 200-800 $)
MM or MC does not matter

Try a Denon 304. I have the same TT and arm as you (Thorens 160 and SME III).

I also recommend a good mc step up transformer. I have a Quicksilver, a Denon, a Bellari and two custom - built using vintage mic transformers. I prefer the sound of a passive device over an active stage.

Replace the arm with a Jelco 750D and keep the cartridge.
