Which cartridge for Graham 2.2 arm?


Just scored a Graham 2.0 factory upgraded to 2.2 with bearing cap and ceramic wand.
Conventional wisdom says that at 11 grams effective mass it would best be paired with a high-compliance cartridge, something on the order of 18uN/mm or higher?

Poking around on-line I see static AND active compliance listed for some carts; hoo boy a new variable...
Budget is not unlimited, say around $500 and I have no problem with used, in fact most of my stuff is.

Any Graham owners want to weigh in? Any one at all want to weigh in?

Thanks very much for all the input everybody, I will take it all under advisement.
I have a high-output Grado wood cart so I could try that to start.



Nice. I was looking at the Soundsmith carts as well. I have owned several B&O tables and did enjoy the MMC designs. 
Hmmm, I hadn't considered messing with Mr. Graham's design. I have seen arms that have weighs to increase their mass though so I suppose it's not a terrible idea ;-)
I'll look at that Goldring, thanks.
