Replace stylus or new cartridge?

Should I replace a stylus on an old (I bought it new a long time ago) Grado TLZ fir $325 or buy a new Nagaoka MB-300 for roughly twice that?

And the price is identical, as well.

It now is regally suspended from the MMT for which it was originally purchased which in turn sits atop a truly vintage Kenwood 600. It really does sound wonderful and, as an added bonus, makes me feel young again.
