upgrade phono stage ?

As a given, I buy from an audio dealer who accepts trade ins, and I must work with what is available.
I am thinking of either upgrading my Bias 2 cartridge to an Elys 2, or upgrading my NAD PP2 to a Rega Phono. It seems that an improvement in phono stage could pull more from the Bias 2 cartridge, whereas the cartride upgrade might not be as beneficial with the same NAD PP2 phonostage ?

If I go the trade in/upgrade route with this dealer, and stay under $200, my choices are limited to what he has. I can stretch to Clearaudio entry level, but have been cautioned that Clearaudio and Benz cartridges are taller than Regas, meaning the Rega tonearm must be shimmed. My questions about Clearaudio
