Help ! Best MC cartridge for Linn LP12?

I have a LP12 with new EkosSE arm with Skale weight. The TT has Keel chassis, Radikal power, AQ Leopard cable. I use a Krystal MC now. I'm asking what cartridges mate best with my setup from a compliance standpoint- weight mount, suspension table etc.  From that list I'll try narrow down to good selections that mate to my phono/pre. Hopefully I will have a few that I can choose from to suit my listening tastes, knowing that compatibility isn't coloring what I hear. My budget limit is $10k. I have some thoughts already, but don't want to bias comments by naming them. So please help me to narrow my options down to the best candidates.

Linn LP12 / ITTOK LVII combo.

I went from an AT33/ML OCC, which was a great cartridge, to a SS rebuilt Denon 103D, which is a superb cartrdige !  I use a Cinemag 3440 SUT.

Yes you can spend a lot more, but with something like the Denon, you would be at the point of diminishing returns.
