MM Cartridge recommendation

I am in the process of upgrading from my current project debut carbon(with acrylic platter and ortofon blue) to a vintage Micro Seiki DD-5.  It will come with the stock tone arm and Micro H-303 headshell but no cart. I am looking for any recommendations for a MM cartridge sub $500?  This turntable will be used with a Cronos Magnum III powering a pair of Triangle Acoustics Comete 40th anniversary speakers.

I was thinking of a Nagaoka MP150 or 200 but have no experience with cartridges other then the Ortofon 2m line  so all suggestions are welcomed. 
Thanks in advance.

+1 for the MoFi Mastertracker.  I love mine!  Herb Reichert was impressed with it, as well:  "I had never ever experienced such vitality and sharp focus from an MM cartridge. More surprisingly, this sharp focus did not come from lean, dry, or overdamped sound. The MasterTracker was simply getting all of the energy information off the record."

Regardless, make sure it's a good match for your TT, arm and system.

Good Luck!
