RIAA eq standards - a deal breaker?

Have a VPI Classic 3 with a Benz Glider that I just dropped last evening and now need to replace. The Soundsmith Zephyr mkII is on my short list; but now I hear that it does not adhere to the RIAA eq standards. Should I remove it from my list of cartridge contenders (which include the Lyra Delos and Clearaudio Maestro v2 )?

Thanks all for your responses.
Talked with Peter Ledermann of Soundsmith today and I was very impressed. Told me my Glider may not be repairable. So I've decided to replace it with a Zephyr mkII. A lot of great cartridges out there, but the price is certainly right and Classic/Zephyr owners appear to be very happy.

Since you have appeared to have dropped your VPI Classic 3, why not have that repaired first if needed.

Sorry for the confusion. I dropped only the Glider, not the tt.
