Cartridge Change

I have a Rega RP 3 Turntable with a Rega Exact 2 cartridge with around 300 hours on it. Was wondering if a Ortofon Bronze would be a step up or would I have to go the the Black to make a big difference. I could buy the Bronze today would be a couple of months before I could get the Black. I’m happy with the Exact just the table came with a Rega cartridge and when I upgraded I went with the Exact so I’ve never heard another cartridge. Want to stay with a MM cartridge when I do upgrade. Thanks for any input.

Nagaoka and Dynavector are both said to play well on a Rega table - I'd look at whatever fits in your budget from those brands.

Dynavector is all MC but they do make high output that should work for you.

Rega carts are just OK I am running an Apheta 2 on an RP10 and even at that level it's quite good but not incredible, I've heard the Planar 3 with whatever MM it comes with from factory and it can be significantly bettered - even a Nagaoka MP110 has a lot more warmth and soul going for it.
