Pickering xsv/4000 replacement stylus insights

I purchased a JVC QL-Y3F Turntable. It came with a Pickering xsv/4000. A new stylus is $100 and up. It would seem to me that a new cartridge would be a better investment. Perhaps I would feel different if I knew something about the Pickering. I haven't been able to find any information on it. Any help will be appreciated.

FWIW, I just bought a Pickering XSV5000 and a Stanton 881S MKII on scamBay for $125 total. An original Stanton stereohedron stylus comes with the pair.Their original styli are inerchangeable it seems.

I'll have to see if the original Stanton needle has any life left...

Even if the JICO Shibata is my last resort, I'm hoping these cartidges live up to their reputation!
