Best of the Gliders, or?

Hi Folks,
Been thinking lately that my Benz Glider may be nearing the end of its useful life, and have considered the possibility of trade-in.

Mine, is an original hi-output Glider bought in 1997.

Some questions I have are: Of all the new model Gliders, which output would provide the best sonics? I'm using the Sutherland PhD, so it doesn't appear that output would be an issue with this Phono Stage with its gain adjustability.

Another question I have, if I use the trade in program (Undecided if this is actually the best course?) would I perhaps be better off for a slightly higher investment in $$$ to bypass the Glider, and move up to a better Benz model? (I'm not made of gold though!)

Any recommendations on who's the best for trade-in?

Second Jcarr. If you find yourself upgrading the cart though, for not much more than you're considering check out the new Transfiguration Axia although it would outclass your current rig and would only make sense if you were planning on an upgrade there as well. I don't think the Lyra would be the ticket for your stated desire for smoothness.

Dealer disclaimer.
