Cartridge choice? Ortofon or Goldring

I recently purchased a Music Hall mmf 5 and I really love this turntable. Right now I am using it with a Ortofon Super OM10 because it was broken in and I didn't want to wait for the Goldring to losen up. Thinking of upgrading to a OM30 stylus or should I go with the Goldring 1012GX? The only reseverations I have about the Goldring is that the edge of stylus holder seems to ride a bit too close to the record. I am using an Old Marantz 2252B that's in really nice shape as an amplifier. For speakers I am using a pair Cerwin Vega LS 10s. I mostly play rock from the 70s and 80s on vinyl that is either mint or in excellent condition. What do you think? Does anybod know where I can find some reviews on the Ortofon cartridges?

Definitely go for the stylus upgrade: even better, upgrade to the 40 stylus.

I've got a Reson Reca, which is a modded Goldring 1042 (considerably better and more expensive than the 1012GX) and my Otofon Super OM40 is the one I play the most. (the Reca is very good though)

Happy listening,

Joel.
