One stereo or two (stereo and mono) cartridges?


I am planning to upgrade my turntable and cartridge (Rega RP10/Aphelion). I have many mono records. If my budget for cartridge is $10k, should I buy one stereo $10k or one $5k stereo and one $5k mono cartridge. Anyone that already own a turntable with two arms has advice? Thanks!

Thank you @solypsa , I researched Tedeska and they sound very committed to

and in mono in particular. That is the fun of the hobby, research for impossible... Few seem to own mono and stereo carts. Surprises me. Michael Framer was advising NOT to buy the Beatles in Mono box set if you did not own a mono cart. Obviously, he wants to help sell hardware, and advertising..., yet his article was interesting and seemed to make sense. I bought the box set nevertheless...

@lewm thank you, this is exactly the type of information I was looking for. I do have a mono option on my Rega Aura. I tried it at the beginning and did not notice much of a difference, so stopped using it. I will give it a fair trial.
