Question concerning cartridge for Sota Star vacuum turntable


I have a vintage Sota Star vacuum turntable with a Fidelity Research FR 64 FX tone arm with a mounted Linn Adikt MM cartridge that unfortunately needs a new stylus. I can buy a new replacement stylus for somewhere between $400.00 and $500.00. My question, is this wise or could I for near the same cost do better?

I assume that the Koetsu was either pitched out, or could not be serviced by SoundSmith?

The Hana, or maybe a SoundSmith cart?

I did put a Garriot Bros p77i on a SOTA at the suggestion of the fellow from St Petersburg Rus, who has not be around since the Ukrainian conflict started and the internet was difficult.

For $500 I like it, but I am not nearly as well versed in carts as say @pindac @lewm and others.
