Carts option for Rega P5 + RB700 arm

hi guys,

I'm thinking of building a system base on a Rega P5 and RB700 arm. What carts under $500 can you recommend that works well with this combo ?

Thanks for the much help.

I believe it's height is similar to the Rega carts, so you shouldn't have to fool around with shims under the arm. http://www.needledoctor.com/Goldring-Eroica-LX-Cartridge?sc=2&category=373

From what I find on the web, it sounds like a 2mm spacer is necessary, but I want to try it "au natural" to start off with. In advance, if anybody out there knows an alternative to Rega's ridiculous $39 2mm metal spacer for the RB-700, please let us know!
