a dilemma for cartridge/phono stage combination

As for a better (newer) mc, I can recommend the Hana SL. It has a superior stylus (Shibata) that will enable it to sound better than either the Alpha or Benz Ace MC's! More detail from your LPs and less wear!

I own the Bellari MT502 step up transformer. Excellent product!

i am open to your suggestions.
i'm sure that it isn't the major to buy something.
but it's a bit of temptation to buy from benz since the offer me a big discount.
maybe i should start with the  SUT  and the  phono stage , try the alpha 2 and decide then.
those components can serve me later on for other cartridges.
especially since i am planning sometime to go for a new amplification that mower days come usually without a build in phono stage.
since i didn't have before any of those , i understand that with only sut i connect it to the phono internal stage.
and with both of them i connect to a regular line ( like aux, cd etc.
so you are saying that there is more sound advantages using both of them compare  to only a phono stage?
two questions:
1. those two models ( the sut and phono stage) that you specified are to your opinion the best from that company? since i saw there several other models.
2.if i want to go step by step i understand that you recommand to try first the SUT ?

regarding your cartridge suggestion, one of the things that are very important to me ,more then details, stage etc. is the naturalism of the sound , how much it close to the real instruments and voices.
can't stand cartridge with coloration even if it gives me many other sound advantages.

sorry for asking more.|
it’s because i don’t have experience with those components.
i read that the SUT:
"moving coil step up transformer that raises the low level of a moving coil cartridge up to a moving magnet level. Making your moving coil cartridge compatible with your phono preamp. "
so what is the reason i want to "convert" my MC to a MM?
and so what does the phono preamp?
it’s aloud you to adjust the best loading or impedance for your cartridge, but also to raise gain?
and what is the reason the the SUT MT502 cost 499 $ and the Vp 549 149$?

just to explain my self, i’m not arguing and really appreciate very much your help.
just want to understand what i’m going for and what is the purpose and the tribute of each of the two.
