Cartridge recommendations for Rega RB 1000

Am currently running a Gyro SE with HR power supply, RB 300 arm and Sumiko Bluepoint 2 cartridge. The rest of the system comprises : Phd Sutherland phono stage, CJ CT 5 pre, CJ LP70S power, Musical Fidelity KW 25 dac/trpt.,Quad 2905 speakers, with all Cardas Gold Reference cabling, Transparent power chords etc
Would greatly appreciate comments/advice regd. the RB 1000 arm with recommendations for a compatible cartridge. Am inclined largely on the basis of reviews/ advise from friends towards a Ortofon Kontrapunkt B, or Koetsu Black or maybe a Lyra Helikon. There is no way that I will get to audition any of the cartridges prior to purchase. Hence, the advice/views of A'goners is deeply appreciated.
Cheers

Also, check out the replacement counterweight selling from Audiogon seller, Gregory_kerry
It made my Rega RB300 tonearm into a real music maker. Night and day difference.
It fits on the RB1000, also.
