Cartridge around $2K help.

Looking for cartridge to use while my Dyna XV-1s heads off for a rebuild. Would like something around $2000.00, that I can use while its gone. I will only buy new. Would like something a little different than the Dyna, it will be used with a Michell Gyro SE MKII with SME V arm, and BAT VK-P10 phonostage.
MC/MM/MI low or high output.
A few I am thinking of are
Music Maker Classic
Grado Statement Reference1
Soundsmith "the voice"
Lyra Kleos
Any thoughts or sonic opinions?
Thanks!

Marakanetz,
Your right, I have not been disappointed!
I like this Delos enough that I'm wishing I would have gone ahead and got the Kleos.

It came down to the Lyra Delos and "the Voice'. Got the new Lyra and saved a few hundred bucks. In the end I wanted to keep it under 1500.00, and i have 30 days to try it when it gets here.
Thanks!

Kleos on the way to compare to both the XV-1s and Delos.

Decided to move the the Kleos. Anyone have a cartridge in the same new/used price range they want to trade, let me know. This Kleos has a total of 28 sides played on it.
