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?

SoundSmith will fit your DL 103 R with a ruby cantilever and fineline stylus for less than that. 
An other Denon retipper is a guy with the nick Needlestein. Google it. I am actually listening to one of his DL 103 retips right now. It will take your DL 103 to a wholly new level.
