What do you think would be the best match? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

The Allnic H7000 has balanced outs, handles multiple carts. LCR. Call Albert Porter.
If you can find one get a Vendetta SCP2a. I have the first Whest 0.20 and it was much better than a Tom Evans Groove. The Vendetta i got had to be re-capped and on the advice of John Curl I upgraded the IC chips. I don't worry about the next thing out there. It would be nice to have a phono stage with different EQ curves though.
I digress a little - I still can't fault the Whest and I'm sure the 4.0 would be better than what i have. lovely build, and James Henriot is a very knowledgable and helpful guy. I'm not qualified to comment on the others I hasten to add. 
In terms of sound I did a review many moons ago and stand by it still. very good extension, body, and air. Superb at imaging and to my ears - not cold.
@jjgasp  - do you have an update for us?  Very interested to hear what cart you ended up going with and what led to that decision.

Thanks.

@rdk777 - I’ve got the Pass Labs XP-27. Made sense to match it up with my Pass Labs INT-250 and it sounds fantastic.
