Denon DL103 vs Goldring 1042 on a Spacedeck


I have an old Nottingham Spacedeck with a 10'' Spacearm. When I bought it (used) it came with a Denon DL103.
Although someone told me that this cart is not recommended for this turntable/arm (I don't know why but I guess it has something to do with weights and mass), I really enjoy this combination.
Now I have the chance of getting a brand new Goldring 1042 for less than half of the retail price.
Can someone tell me if it worth to make the change?
What should be the difference between these two carts for this turntable/arm set?

As it is used and the cartridge probably worn, get the Goldring, at least for the moment. Otherwise, get something like an AT95e or Nagaoka MP110 so you don't hurt your vinyl with a possibly worn Denon.
