MONO cartridge recommendation

Hi,
I was all set to get the ORTOFON 2M MONO SE cartridge to play the Beatles Mono Vinyl box set.

But it seems they do not offer it in any longer. Anyone have a suggestion on a true Mono cartridge $550-1000 range?

MM or MC in the 2.5mV range for my preamp

thanks

So, does that mean we should be fine playing back a modern re-issue on a stereo cart, without Y-connector or Mono switch, as long as there is no extraneous vertical motion from scratches etc? (Assuming that both channels are putting out the same output, so there is no need to "sum" both channels).

Thanks, for that, I have an Audio Technica AT-3 on an SME3009 non-improved and it certainly improves 1960's mono lp's, however it may not be the best cart/tonearm match. My other arm (Tecnoarm) has an Ortofon MC25FL, which is far superior so I may use that for the modern mono represses.
