Best Cartridge under $1000.00 for Rega 700

Thank you all, now I am torn between the Lyra and the Benz. I have a Benz silver and really like it, it was the cart that made me realize how much difference a decent cartridge can make, now of course I am never satisfied. Since I am using the EAR phono pre, will either the Glider SM or Glider SL, work for me or should I stick to the M? Between the Benz and the Dorian, which will give the greatest difference in mid range response, between it and the Dynavector 17D3, which I already have. Looking for the one to switch between with the dyna just because. I think I may be just a little bent.
Back at you all,
Jerry

I love my Dynavector Karat 17D3 MkII and would consider the latest MkIII after this one for sure, Improvements are costly for small percentages after that IMO.

Thank you Krell. I also love my Dynavector, but being just a tad compulsive, I keep thinking that may the, (you fill in the blank) cartridge for only (see above parenthesis), dollars more, will give me the punch I am looking for. I will always be wanting better, but I will probably not get that much more with the Lyra/Benz/Clearaudio, in the same price range without significantly upgrading the rest of the system. Oh hell whats just one more cartridge!

I have the RB1000 Rega arm with the Lyra Argo i. Very good combo, very detailed and musical... like a live performance.

Dear Birdmanpa: IMHO you can add to all those other opinions these very good quality performers:

these " humble " cartridges are MM/MI designs and between other things have the advantage that does not needs additional gain stages that degrade the cartridge signal adding distortions and in the process through those additional gain stages where the signal must pass makes that the signal cartridge loose integrity and accuracy.
IMHO the analog source MM/MI alternative is worth to try it and almost " inexpensive ".
