Which $100 cart. is best for I.G. distortion?


I'm looking to replace the Ortofon OM5e cartridge on my Technics SL-3200 (S-shaped tone arm, if that matters). One of the biggest disappointments with this set-up has been the amount of inner groove distortion. I've realigned the cartridge several times, and tried adjusting the tracking force. Nothing seems to help.
Which "budget" cartridges are best at tracking inner grooves properly? Is the Shure M97xe a good choice?
Thanks!

The Shure should work fine. The stabilizer brush solves a lot of tracking issues.
