Cartridge advice

Miller, you've shown me the light. 

I would want to move up to an advanced stylus shape: microline, stereohedron, shibata, sas.

many of those mentioned above are elliptical stylus, less contact surface, ....

and I stick with Moving Magnet, high enough output.
and, user replaceable stylus

new audio technica offer their ML microline shape, and now have alternate Shibata shapes.

I put a new SAS stylus from Jico into my old Shure V15vxmr body.

I like the brush feature of the Shures. The Pickering recommended by Chackster has stereohedron tip and brush. The brush can be left up, play, then put it down/adjust tracking, play, hear any difference? if not, use the brush, it's a shock absorber, anti-static, duster.

Don't fret too much on stylus type. I've a Decca with an elliptical and it blows away my AT750 Shibata. The generator is important too. 

For the price point-$400, I have found the SS Otello a very nice performing cart on my VPI. 

I used it as a back up for my 5X  the price MC. Very nice mids, which may be address your requirements, as a Classical listener. 

The only downside is no depth charge bass performance, which isn't a Classical music necessity. The cannons on the 1812 will  just  be a little softer.

The SS website notes this deficit about the Otello.

An all around budget MC is the Audio Technica OC9.

For the price, it may be the "best?"

The Hana SL is a very nice cart if you can stretch your budget by 50 bucks.
