Is the mono version of the high output...

Benz Micro cartridge worth the money? I'm not an audiophile, but I would like a mono cartridge to play vintage jazz records. I was also looking at one of the cheaper Grado needles that run in the neighborhood of 90-150 dollars. I have a technics 1210 with some of the more popular KAB mods on the way(e.g. fluid damper, rewire, threaded clamp). Let me know what you think--Cheers
