Cartridges for Rega Tables

I have a Rega P10 (previous version) and am wondering if anyone makes a cartridge that is the exact same height top to stylus? Since Rega doesn’t offer adjustable VTA, I wondered if I could get a cartridge that doesn’t require shimming the tonearm. I know Rega offers a number of Cartridges, but I never have really cared for their sound signature. I am currently using a Lyra Kleos but thinking of making a change.

thank you

Hana are 16mm to the tip of the stylus.  
Dynavector 17DX3 is 15.8mm and an excellent sounding cartridge.

@racedoc   

it doesn't  look like those Excalibur cartridges have the Rega three point mounting system or the 14mm height of Rega catridges.  
What about them is Rega specific?

OP if you are using a Lyra Kleos on a Rega arm without VTA spacers you are wasting it.  
The Rega cartridges are 14mm from base to stylus tip.  Hana have some 16mm cartridges.
