Phono stage matching - how critical

How critical is it to use an MM cartridge with an MM phono stage and an MC cartridge with an MC phono stage?
My phono stage is designed for an MM cartridge; however I'm using a Benz Glider on my Classic 3. The Glider is high output so I'm not having any issue with gain. But would my system sound better if I used an MM cartridge such as the Soundsmith Zephyr?

Your using the proper type of phono stage for your cartridge so your good.
Now whether your system would sound better using a Soundsmith Zephr, well only your ears could tell that. You would have to try it and tell us which you prefer.
