Rega arm vs Sumiko

I' m about to have my 20 year old Sota Sapphire with a Sumiko MMT arm updated by Sota and someone has offered a Rega RB 250 arm very reasonably to me. The MMT came with the table when I bought it years ago and performs fine - would the Rega be an upgrade?

The sumiko mdc 800 is the tonearm you want."

I agree with you. The MDC 800 would be a great choice. No longer in production, but they occasionally are offered for sale. This was a classic and desirable pairing with the SOTA turntable.

IMO the Rega will not be an upgrade. You should look for a SME 309, IV, or V. Any of those would be an upgrade, although probably more expensive than the Rega.
