I’ll try to remove some of the mystery.
There are two types of MC cartridges - high output that are designed to work with MM phono stages and low output MC’s.
HOMC’s require the same loading as MM’s, 47K ohms, and since they average around 2.5mV, they work well at MM gain settings of 40dB. The input capacitance is usually around 100pF too. Again, settings that are the same as a MM.
LOMC is a whole different animal. Their output is averages around 0.5mV and gain settings should be around 60dB if the phono stage is designed for LOMC’s. The input loading drops to around 100 ohms and input capacitance is irrelevant. Your Vincent Pho 700 is both a MM and LOMC phono stage so you would be in business. But a word of caution - the phono stage becomes critical with LOMC’s because at the higher gain levels needed, around 60dB, some MC stages are noisy (audible hiss). And if you can hear this from your listening position, it will be annoying. You want to use a phono stage with a high s/n ratio in MC mode that will be graveyard quiet. Less noise equals more music.
Finally a word about cartridge compliance. Use the dynamic compliance rating @ 10Hz when determining the resonant frequency of the cartridge/tonearm combo. You already know the effective mass of your tonearm, 6 grams, so that’s good. Here is a tool to use to determine compatibility...

Just look for the cartridges dynamic compliance rating along with its actual weight (add a 0.5 grams for mounting hardware) and see where the combo falls. Hopefully in the green.
Hope some of this helps.
