Akiva or Titan

I am looking to replace the Arkiv B in my Linn LP12. I am trying to decide whether it is worth the extra $1500 to go with the Lyra Titan.

One concern I have is volume. With the Arkiv B in my system, I really have to crank up the volume. (My system is listed under "2 Channel Basement Stereo") Will either of these cartridges exacerbate the problem?

You have to use the high gain 69dB and set the load at 100 Ohm, using the supplied resistors combination colors suggested by the user manual.
I am using Akiva with the Ref Phono and Ref2 mk2 with no problem at all.
