I have a Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood and have broken the cantilever not once, but twice. I had it re-tipped again but am afraid to use it.
If you can afford a little more, get a Hana SL. They are fantastic. I have one on my Clearaudio Emotion. The Denon DL-301 MKII is also very nice and closer to your price range. Nagaoka makes nice MM carts. I have the MP-500, which is also a little out of your price range, but very nice.
