Excellent sounding cartridges for Rega P3/24?

I need some advice since I am not too learned about tonearm mass and proper resonant frequencies etc. Can someone guide me to a couple good MM cartridges for the P3/24. I now have the Rega Exact II and I am looking for something else. I like the Clearaudio Maestro wood but will it work well with this table and arm? I had also been looking at the Ortofon 2M black but then I read a post that said this cartridge is not a good match with the Rega tomearm. Thanks in advance.

I know it is not what you asked but wouldn't a better phono pre amp be a better upgrade. I heard some rega decks with benz Ace, it is a good sounding combo. I prefer Lyra over Benz but that is just my personal view. I could very well live with a rega/benz combo. If you stretch you budget somewhat benz has a veru good phono pre amp, and when you buy a benz cart you might get a good deal on the phono pre.

Some time ago I did a shoot out between some phone pre's. The benz pre and the Array PH-1 (there now is a PH-2 available) were the best I heard.
