New TT or new Cart? Technics content


Signal chain:
Fully upgraded KAB Technics 1200 / AT 440 MLA
Parasound Hint6 (integrated Phono)
DIY Mogami Cables
KEF LS50 (w/ PSA subwoofer)

Options that i'm considering: 
With the full TT upgrades, I likely have the equivalent of the 1200GR (to within an acceptable range).  I guess the first question would be - can I get more performance out of this setup with a new cart?  Thinking AT150MLX, Hana SL, etc. 

1200G?  Most costly, probably need a matching cart.  Probably the biggest exponential jump in terms of performance. 

Dual subwoofers?  KEF / REL?  The hint6 will drive 2 separately.  I'm currently using HT Bypass and running a single sub.

What do you think is the best bang for the buck upgrade?

Chakster-I don't mean to create thread drift but this thread is as good as any-I would love to know a bit more about you. You live in St. Petersburg but how old are you and what do you do for a living if you don't mind my asking? And even perhaps a bit more personal but do you own your own freestanding home (I ask because of your generously sized listening room). And yet one more-can you comment on the audiophile community in your area of Russia? Is there one?
I will take that to mean you are KGB. I am from Russia. At least, my grandparents were. From a long-gone village named Slutzk. My real last name was Telushkin before it got shortened. 
Are there audio equipment manufacturers/producers in Russia? Why do you own American/European components?
