Lyra Lydian or Benz L2 for a Linn Table

I have a Lingoed Linn LP12 with a Ekos tonearm and a Linto phono amp. which is fed into an Audio Research CA-50 integrated amp. I'm looking to replace my cartridge and I've only got around $1200 to spend. Linn of course suggests their Klyde cartridge, but I haven't heard that many good things about it (see Listener mag. Vol. 3 No. 1.)

Any suggestions?

Benz Klider (sp?) is a beautiful, reasonably priced cartridge. The clearaudio Victory also sounded good on a Clearaudio TT. Haven't heard L2 or Lydian. Have heard the Clavis on a Clearaudio and my old Simon Yorke Zarathustra. It sounded lovely. But then, I listen to classical so, take MO with many grains of salt.
I used a VdenHul grasshopper with my Linn/Ekos. Long time ago.
Good luck!
