The problem in answering this question is that the cartridge probably sounded ratty when you last listened to it, which is why you sent it in for a rebuild, so it may be hard to remember exactly how it sounded compared to the new one. That said, I had SS work on 2 cartridges for me and I was very pleased with the sound when I got them back. I had a different situation in that Peter only replaced the stylus and not the cantilever on mine. I didn't ask him to do this, I just asked him to do what you think best. I don't think Peter would have replaced the cantilever on yours if he didn't feel it was the best choice. My guess is you will install it and be very pleasantly surprised.
