I've heard lots of cartridges w/ VPI tables, owned Ortofon Quintet Red, Bronze, Cadenza Bronze and Black and an SPU. Have used the Kiseki Purpleheart on a VPI HR-X. I think for the 3d arm/prime combo in the 2k range, I would audition the Transfiguration AXIA.
There is a VPI dealer in Oklahoma who handles the Transfig, along with VPI as well as Zesto and he has had that combination in his listening room. I have heard it and it has a lot of synergy with that phono stage
