Which wood Grado

I’d like to experiment with a wood Grado for my Technics 1200GR.  I have Thiel CS2.4 speakers so I’m looking for a Grado that will have a nice full mid range and midbass, but not be overly excited in the treble, just a tad rolled off maybe, while still maintaining clarity and detail.  Can I get that with the $600 or $700 budget in the Wood line and which one would be the best.  MM or MC.

I had a Sonata.  That's why I now use a Lyra Clavis DC (rebuilt by Soundsmith) and keep an AT OC9/II as a spare.  Never Grado again.  Never.  Will sell my vinyl collection before I stoop down that low.  

But that's only my studied and experienced opinion.  Your naive opinion may differ.

Never Grado again. Never.

maybe you have just been unlucky with this brand, for compatibility between tonearm / cartridge / phono and I also add cable.

Bpoletti, what a stupid ass and ignorant post.

That's MY studied and experienced opinion.

I went from Grado Platinum, to Sonata, to the Reference Master 2, and I am quite satisfied; Grado is called the poor mans Koetsu for a reason.

Dear @last_lemming : The @stevecham advise for the Ortofon 2mBlack is very  very good choice for you.
