Cartridge advice

Am looking for new cartridge.  Have a VPI Scout with a JMW Memorial tone arm.  Had an old Grado Sonata that after years of storage, broke in a recent move.  Pre-amp is an ARC sp10.  Listen to classical lps only.  Looking in the $400 - $700 price range.  Suggestions?
TIA

@chakster I have 2 Garrott Bros Deccas and they are excellent. I also have a Super Gold with Paratrace tip from Expert Sylus fitted by J. Wright of London.

Don't fret too much on stylus type. I've a Decca with an elliptical and it blows away my AT750 Shibata. The generator is important too.

Get the Carmen. You won't regret the extra expense. It's just better for little additional cost. Retipping is so inexpensive that cost of ownership is less than you think.
