Rega planar 3 upgrade

Hi,
I'm looking to upgrade my 30 years old Rega  planar 3.  I have the motor upgrade from Rega installed.
I have a Linn Linto Phonostage with a Ortofon Rondo Red MC cartridge (which I hate...too bright for me).
I have thoughts of switching to the Rega Ania pro MC cartridge and maybe replacing the cable of the RB300 tonearm (30 years ago the RB300 came with a very poor quality cable).
1. Any thought on the Ania pro ?  Would it fit the Linn Linto ?
2. What cable can I use to upgrade the RB300 ? Can I use an old XLO Reference 3 RCA cable that I have, strip its edge and mount it to the RB300 ?

Seems like Rega P3 owners have been getting the itch lately....

I'd spend the extra cash for the P8 and Apheta, since you're a long hauler
Good for the next  30 years.

Consider upping the phono stage afterwards.
