It will never sound the same. Honestly I just don't get the act of changing out the cantilever and stylus to something else. Once the cartridge wears out, replace it with another one, unless it has a replaceable stylus.
If one can afford expensive toys to play with the first time, they should be able to afford a replacement no questions asked.
