Differences between MM or MC/Recommendations?

I really enjoy vinyl. I have two questions: What is the difference, sonically, between MM and MC cartridges? And, what recommendations can you make for a $1,000 and under retail priced cartridge?
My system: Rega Planar 25, RB600 arm, Rega Super Elys MM cartridge; Phonomena Phono Preamp (which is just about infinetately adjustable for MM and MC, also to be upgraded soon) Musical Fidelity NuVista M3 Integrated Amp; Sonus Faber Grand Piano (not the Home version); CAL Audio CL-20 DVD/CD player; Harmonic Tech interconnects; MIT T2 Biwire cables. I plan to keep everything except the cartridge and the Phonomema Preamp. Thanks in advance.

In your situation it would be more reasonable to spend only half of your budget for the cartridge and the other half to place either inside the pocket or upgrade the phono stage.
EAR 834P, Trichord Delphini, Trichord Dino and also Benz PP1 is on my list. The cartridge I would recommend is Benz Glider or Dynavector 20Xl.

To mention 2juki I've acquired from him Lyra Helikon for $1200 brand spanking new. I figured out that I really do not need Immedia's warranties on that since they're all don't make any sence becides I've got it at arround 45% discount.
