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.

Not the kind of thing I would ever do. My approach has always been to never bother buying anything I don't think will make me happy for a good long time. Years. Because years of use takes the sting of depreciation loss right out of the picture. Cartridges especially are a total loser to be swapping like this. For what it will cost in price differential you could probably buy some footers or a shelf that will cost the same but you lost zero on the deal and the footers and shelf are good for live.  

The cart you have is gonna go to near zero soon enough anyway. Why the big rush?
