Hi...
I would go for a wooden headshell in the range of 10 to 12 grams.
That is a perfect match with the Benz cartridge.

Cartridge Headshell Match
I recently purchased a Technics SL1200 GR.
I currently have an Ortofon MC Rondo Red mounted.
I plan on getting another Headshell and mounting a Benz Micro Glider that I just had re-tipped on it.
I noticed some headshells have azimuth adjustment which would be nice but weigh around 12 grams.
I can get a technics style headshell with no azimuth adjustment that weighs around 7.6 grams.
The Benz Glider weighs 6.6 grams
The Ortofon MC Rondo weighs 10.5 grams and sounds great with the stock Technics headshell.
The Benz is lighter in weight than the Ortofon by almost 4 grams so would that better mate with a heavier headshell?
I know this subject has been covered many times before but it still confuses me a bit.
