Hana ML and Korf head shell

Thinking about a Hana ML, and also changing the head shell.How does one go about determining if that will all work with my old SAEC WE317 tone arm?
And does that Hana ML seem like a good way to go?
I currently have a Blue Point Special which is ~15 years old.

You can count, every stylus can be used for certain amount of hrs, it depends on the stylus profile. If your cantridge was stored for 5 years - no problem, but there are still 10 more years before that. If you don’t like the sound it might be a worn stylus (it can be inspected under the microscope by SoundSmith or someone else for $30).

Chack - I think he is in Australia. Hence my recommendation of Garrot Bro.

The p77i compliance is 18, so it’s a ways away from the Hana at 10 cm/dyne.And the We-317 tonearm manual says “high mass” tonearm.
Are these p77i really good?I read some subjective reviews that seemed to indicate that they’re glary?
Have you fellows tried them?
