Shure V15V cartridge. Worth investing in?

I have a old Shure V-15V cartridge that I bought many years ago and have not used for years. The stylus broke years ago and I retired it. My question is, is it worth investing over $100 in a new needle for this or should I purchase a new cartridge altogether? I have recently upgraded my entire 2 channel system and listen alot to my old jazz albums. I presently am using a mid grade ADC set-up that seems to sound fine. I am willing to invest the money if I'll hear a difference.

This is a great cartridge for the money. Only around $225 new. (I can give you the link). As far as tracking, it is only bettered by one other cartridge I am aware of, the Cartridge Man's 'Music Maker' cart, which is a true audiophile MM (Or moving iron, I forget which) High output cart. Of Course, that one costs $750. For the money, it's hard to beat.
