cartridge Benz, Koestu, Lyra

I have a Scout with a Benz Glider H2 currently, running through a AR PH5 phono pre. I am looking to upgrade my cart. Would a Lyra Helikon be overkill and would I have a problem with anti skate? I have heard the Koetsu Black and loved the airiness. Would a Benz woodbody give me any of that air? It's really difficult to listen to diffrent carts, plus they are always on a diiferent rig. I am probably going to buy used.
Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated.

doesn't the arc ph5 require high output cartridges or does it have a line boost for MC low output cartridges?

I have a ARC ph2 and it requires 2-2.5 mv cartridges

The Koetsu black is 0.6mv

any easy ways around this with my ph2? thanks
Tom
