ortofon 2m bronze vs rega Exact 2 cartridge

Hi every one I just currently upgraded to a new rp8 and looking for a new phono cartridge for it then my old one. My old one is an Ortofon VMS20E MKII mc. My phono preamp is a cary audio slp-98p with triode tube MM phono stage. I like the idea of the Ortofon bronze and changing out the styles to a 2m black without upgrading the hole cartridge. The the rest of my system is a CAD 120s power amp and totem acoustic forest speakers and Kimber 12tc speaker cable and silver streak interconnects.
Which one would be a better match?

Having set up perhaps 500 TT’s over last 50 years , I would never put a shibata or other" fine line" cart on any TT without a" adjust as you play" VTA
mechanism .
The new Pioneer PLX-1000 has an adjustable 360 degree round the arm base adjustment dial, VERY easy to adjust on the fly and an excellent sound, IMO better than about anything under 2K anyway .
