Biggest bang for the buck in retipping a new Denton DL103R


I have an analog rig composed of new DL103R, Sumiko tone arm, SOTA TT and a home-made phono stage optimized for DL.  It sounds good, but I am wondering whether I can improve the sound significantly by retipping the cartridge. I was quoted by an eBay retipper for $900: Nude Fritz Gyger FG S diamond, ruby cantilever, aluminum body and potting. A new Lyra Denlos is $2000. Is it worth retipping? What is the biggest bang for the buck?

every suspension is designed for a particular stylus design and mass . so.. chances are it may or may not be better. since the damping and force per contact area changes. what do you think it would perform? that's entirely up to own judgment. 


There are  other denon carts like denon 303d or  103 s with line contact exotic cantilever. I forgot the codes which have the diff stylus cantilever. profile . quite plentiful in yahoo auctions. have a look at other denon Mc models 


or look at hana. it's also alnico magnet.
