Opinions on Rega Apheta 3 or 2?

I recently got a good deal on a Rega Planar 8 and I'm now looking to outfit it with a cartridge. The guy who sold me the turntable has suggested Clearaudio Charisma v2 or  ZYX R100 Yatra H. Due to Rega not having a VTA adjustment, I'm leaning towards the Apheta line instead. Has anyone had any experience with any of the mentioned cartridges and I'm also welcome to other recommendations. I have a tavish adagio for a phono stage and both my my preamp and amp are tube based.

You can purchase shims/spacers for Rega tables that assist in changing VTA.  I have two P9's with Ortofon MC cartridges and use Acoustic Signature spacers with good results.
