Lyra Kleos and VPI Aries 3 - will this work

I'm considering a trade-up to an Aries 3 from a Scoutmaster. And I'd like recommendations on a suitable cartridge.
I was leaning to the Kleos but have read reports that the Lyras aren't a good match with VPI arms because of sibilance problems.
Anyone using a Lyra on a VPI table?

Thanks,

You CANNOT possibly be serious with this question.

Yes, an investment of $8k for a table/arm/cart is a SERIOUS question for me.

Lyra's and Dynavector are very popular matches with the VPI tables/arms.

Lyras match up beautifully with VPI arms. I have a Super Scoutmaster Ref. with rimdrive and use a Lyra Titan-i on a 10.5i arm with excellent results. Before that I was using a Lyra Skala on the JMW-9 arm.

I have heard the Kleos on an Aries 3 and it sounded magnificent. I run a Helikon or a Delos on my Aries 2, having done so for years now, and, after trying Koetsu, van den Hull, Benz Micro and Shelters on this rig, would not even consider changing cartridge manufacturers; the match up between Lyras and VPI's unipivot arms is superb.
