High level MC or step up?

I will soon be in possession of a ARC SP-16 with a build-in phono stage (min 1 mV), and I have just discover that my current cartridge is a low level MC (0.2mV) that SP-16 would most likely not be able to drive. Should I go with a new high-level MC or a step-up transformer?

My vote is for a good SUT. Stay away from cheap ones else you'd be better with a good active stage.
