The regular DL103 runs great in a medium mass Rega RB300 as well. A lot of people in Europe love that combination. I actually have a DL103 mounted on my P3/RB300 and it works great. Can't find a better cartridge for the money (I got mine new from Phono Phono, Berlin for around $120). Enjoy.

The regular DL103 has a much lower compliance, and needs a bit more effective mass than the SME V. However, I'm sure that there are numerous people out there using a regular DL103 in an SME V and liking it. So, I guess it depends on how fussy you want to be about matching.
