Shure V15Vmr or Ortofon OM20 Super?

I need a fresh cartridge for my backup table. I can purchase a new stylus for my older Shure V15Vmr (note, this is not the more recent V15Vxmr), or a new Ortofon OM20super. I enjoy the sound of the Shure very much but find it a tad lean at times. Budget is around $120.00. Thanks for any input and happy holidays.

I would skip the Stanton for use with these specific arms and not being able to alter the loading wouldn't help either. Off the top of my head, i can't think of another inexpensive cartridge to go with. Sorry i'm not much help on this one : ) Sean

Shure all the way: sound accuracy due to the high tracability!
bought my first high quality cartridge in 1987 - Shure V15-V MR and never regretted that. couble of years later after this changed it for Shure Ultra 500 and have lived happily since!

Obviously, this questionis now moot, as replacement stylii are in the $200.00 plus range.
