what cartridge recs for Nottingham Spacedeck

I'm looking hard at the Nottingham Spacedeck / Spacearm
and considering a cartridge for it

initially I'd like to stay under $500 but would like to hear about the musical qualities of anything below that or up to $1k.

I am interested in an involving, tonally balanced presentation with strond resolution and imaging
I would tend to favor a slight warmth over something analytical and harder.

thanks

The Clearaudio Virtuoso is a great cartridge as well, though I don't know how it would work on the Spacearm. I had the Virtuso on a Rega/Michell Gyro and the sound was excellent. However, didn't work as well when I switched to an SME 309; may have been compliance problems. Retail is around $750, but can be had for $600 w/ a trade-in of any old cartridge, or about $500 mail-ordered from Europe.
