Phono Cartridge for $1,000.

Hana is made by Excel Sound
ClearAudio MM motor is Audio-Technica

Go for Audio-Technica ART-9 LOMC via official distributor only if you want something better than your Clear Audio with the ability to service your Audio-Technica cartridge at the manufacturer in Japan (not by some third party vendor). When the needle is worn you can send your AT back to get new one for special price (instead of retipping).

Instead of those new cartridges you can always look for a NOS Dynavector KARAT 23RS with Ruby cantilever and MicroReach diamond and it will be amazing cartridge for about $600-800 max.

The Hana SL is fantastic and a definite step up from the Virtuoso.  I haven't heard the ML yet, but would expect it to be better.  If you can stretch your budget a little, The Kiseki Blue is even better than the Hana SL or the Virtuoso (which I also own).

I bought my Kiseki Blue from Kron, excellent transaction.

Ortofon Quintet Black is a great MC for $1000.

Had the virtuoso ebony and now have the Hana SL. No contest, the Hana is much, much better to me in every way.
previously had Ortofon bronze, black and some Grados. Hana is producing carts on a another level.
Also, heard the ML and not sure it’s any better than the SL, which is saying a lot. About as good as it gets for vinyl.
Using a Cronus magnum 3 and Martin Logan 11a speakers. As detailed and real as I have ever heard in an analog set up. 

Any MM cartridge can be loaded at 100k Ohm (instead of 47k Ohm) and it will be a huge upgrade, much "more airy" presentation and noticeable high frequency extension. At least worth to try as an alternative to 47k Ohm standard. 

Also MM cartridge can sound bad if the cable capacitance is not what was recommended by the manufacturer. Pay attention to the cables used for MM. 

Fremer's video tour at Excel Sound wasn't impressive for me, anyone can watch here.
