Replace stylus or new cartridge?

Elliot, In this case, the replacement stylus (and cantilever) are mounted in an assembly that most likely also contains the suspension, if you are concerned about a worn out suspension.  I think you get a brand new one in the bargain. Go to either the Grado or the LP Gear website to get a visual.

Thanks all. A new stylus it is. Especially since the Nagaoka price increase applies to styli as well.
