Help me make a decision! Turntable overload

For cartridge selection, you must settle on what turntable you want to buy first. The tonearm specs will dictate the compliance and mass of the cartridge, narrowing the field down from infinity to a few dozen in your price range. Keep in mind that indie, electronic and hiphop set the bar very low for sound quality, so even a $50 Best Buy crap turntable will do. For Classic Rock and Jazz, you want a cartridge that has great dynamics and soundstage over the full range. If those are your defining formats, and you need a medium to high compliance cartridge, the Audio Technica VM540ML will do very nicely. But as I said, you must choose your turntable first. 

Lets say the Pioneer PLX 1000 / Pro-Ject Tube Box DS PreAmp / Sony 2ch 100w/8ohm Amp / Infinity Kappa 8.1's Speakers.  AudioQuest Golden Gate Cables and Legend Audio Bi-Wire Speaker Cables.

And lets say that I will do critical listening and have a pretty good ear.  My musical interests run the gamut but lets set the bar at Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Lana del Rey, Tori Amos, Miles & Coltrane...

The EDM I reference is more Electronic than Dance:  Banks, Tove Lo, Zhu, Chet Faker, etc

I also love Reggae!

Now what Cartridges should I be honing in on???  :)

Ortofon Black. 

Black or Bronze but setup is hyper critical
skills, tools, test records, ears....
only one is self proclaimed 

Wow that Black is spendy! Is it really that difficult to setup? I skimmed through a few threads and it sounds hit or miss - all coming down to proper setup.  I only plan to buy NEW 180 gram records and take very good care of them so that should help with some of the surface noise issues - but I'm still unsure.  Its been fun collecting, already up to 37 albums and I don't even have a TT!  :0

I have no experience in this arena. I’m a handy guy, but maybe I should start out with the Bronze...

Appreciate the help everyone - keep it coming please. I’m a sponge!
