My denon dl-160 cartridge kicks sand in the face of my C.D. player. The bass response is cleaner, deeper and fuller.

Denon DP-1200 Cartridges/Upgrades and manual
I currently have an Audio Technica AT440ML cartridge mounted on the stock Denon DP-1200 S-tonearm. I use a modded Bottlehead Seduction as the phono-preamp. I will have a few extra $$ to spend after the sale of a Denon DP-52F and wonder if there is anything I should do with it....
Although a little embarrassed to admit it, I use my turntable mainly to play 80s 12" dance vinyl and other, mostly synthesized, 80s music. The cartridge seems fine but the bass [dynamic punch..?] is sometimes lacking - more often about the pressing than the cartridge, I'm sure.
With a $200 - $300 price range, are there any upgrades that would be significant or should I spend the money on the grand kid? For my non-critical vinyl pleasures, is my AT440ML doing all that there is to be done?
Also, I am desperate for a copy of the manual for the DP-1200 [especially the tonearm set-up instructions.] Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
