Need help-Looking for A New MC cartridge


I’m looking for a new cartridge to replace my worn to the bone Ortofon SPU Royal N. On an SME 3012 R 12” arm trough a Supratek Corteese. 

Thinking about the following:

van den Hul Frog

E.A.T Jo 5

Hana ML

Re-tipping the SPU 

I realize these are pretty different in price, but I’m trying to get a bead on what they sound like. I’ve only listened to my SPU. I would love some input on the other two comparatively . I’m also open to any additional recommendations that would work.

 I’m leaning to buying one and re-tipping the SPU for a back up. 

All comments and recommendations appreciated.

Thanks

If you have a cartridge you love, getting it retipped is the cheapest way to continue being happy. I use VAS.
