What should my next cartridge be?

Currently running the Hana SL MC cart. I love it but think I’m ready for something new... I’m looking for something with great all-around performance like the Hana. Thought about going up to the Hana Microline but also open another brand. 
Here’s the rest of my system: 

Clear Audio Concept Turn Table

Herron Audio VTPH-2a Phono Stage

Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II integrated power amplifier 

Bowers and Wilkins 805 D3 stand mount loud speakers

REL S/510 stereo subs

I just heard a Mu-Tech Hiyabusa and was very impressed. Compared it directly with the top of line Hana and it wasnt even close. To be fair the Mu-Tech is more expensive I believe.

Isn't the Hiyabusa a $4,500 cart???

Yes it is! Sorry I thought that the highest end Hanna was much more expensive and closer to the price of the Hiyabusa.

Hard to go wrong with the Dynavector 17D series. The new 17DX is getting a bit spendy, but reported to be a fine fine cartridge.
