Catridge for sme 30/2

I am planing on upgrading my turntable from rega rp8 to sme 30/2.
looking for recommendations for catridge to pair with turntable. Budget is between 2k-4K.
phono stage is ayre l-5xe.
I have been playing records for over 30 yrs but my technical knowledge in setting up table is bad. That’s why I have been using plug and play turntables . This would be my first venture into this level of analogue and am a willing learner .
Thank you in advance .

Assuming you will be running an Sme IV or V arm, if you have the arm templates setup is easy and will get you 95% of the optimal performance from the cartridge assuming everything on the cart is true.
Lyra kleos is a perfect match fur those arms.
