Jelco vs Rega

I have an Avid Diva II TT with the Jelco ST 250 arm. Would changing the arm to a Rega RB 301 be a worthwhile upgrade or would it just be a lateral move or worst yet, be a downgrade. Thanks.

Owner feedback I've seen on these indicates they approach the performance of an SME 309. If I ever re-arm my Technics SL1210, it'll be some version of a Jelco 750, probably the S-arm w/detachable headshell because I'm so used to that. The straight arm/fixed headshell version is pretty much what the AQ PT-9 was, right?

Regards and enjoy the music, Raul.
