Mid/High Power Phono Cartridges

I need some advise on mid-power to high-power phono cartridges for less than $800. The cartridge needs to have 1 mV or greater output and fit on a Rega tonearm. Some of the cartridges that meet this criteria are Benz's Glider H2 and Clearaudio's Aurum Beta. Does anyone know of other possibilities or have an opinion on these two cartridges?

I have a tube system with an Air Tight ATC-1 Phono/Line Preamp.

I don't know if this one will be compatible w/ the Rega tonearm, but for $125 you can get an Ortofon X5 MC (2.5 mV) from member 2Juki in Hong Kong ($325 US list price). I don't think that can be beat. I would get a small ONEAC isolation transformer/filter from eBay ($25-45) for the tube pre and further improve its performance.

I like to enhance my buying power...
