best cartridge for less than $700 for AQ PT6 arm?

I am a nubee to this forum and I recently purchased a Systemdek IIXE TT with an Audioquest PT6 tonearm. It needs a cartridge and I was wondering what would be the best to use with it for less than $750.00 (MM or MC) Any ideas or suggestions? I would like to get this TT up and running. On my other TT's I have a Denon 207 and a Shure V15III. I listen mostly to Rock n Roll, Jazz & Classical. Thanks for your input.

I nominate the Ortofon 2M Black. Should be a good effective mass/compliance match, and the reviews indicate that it provides a sophisticated, full-bodied, hi-res presentation well within your budget. Also cheaper to own than an equivalently priced MC.

It's what I'd get if I upgraded.
